as I just wrote: a japanese old tradition already did exactly the same.
probably well before 1982.
they also invented the Bonsai for the same purpose: the illusion- aide?s -
of vast space in a much smaller place,
the paper architecture is also just that: the illusion of vast space, in
some - any kind - reduced place. a sheet, a painting, or a model.
like the splash painting of Andy Warhol: a model or some reality ?
where lies the difference ? between seeing an idea drawn on paper or
designed (?) with concrete walls ?
does't matter so much ?
Is't just the normal instinct of the conceptor to prefer to see his idea to
be given a durable life, on bricks and mortar instead of beeing just an
abstract concept drawed on some perishable material like paper or canvas ?
