Mega Origami.

Considering we are proposing to create huge origami designs around the catwalk based on Issey Miyake's work, i decided to research life size origami pieces to gain more inspiration for things we could design, the first i found is a piece of design from a blog under the alias Leopard thunder, unfortunately i cannot source this piece correctly but still the inspiration is there, The second is Jim Mockford, a Japanese language teacher in Washington State, USA, reports that in the fall of 1995 a class of 20 of his students made an ori-tsuru (paper crane), out of a single sheet of paper that measured over 23 feet wingtip to wingtip.

And the third is from the burning man festival 2011, two giant life size origami pieces of dinosaur, ready to be burned down at the end of the festival.
