Paper-cuts: Naoki Terada scales down Beijing in newest design project

"I found the porcelain yogurt bottles to be very interesting. They are cute and they are everywhere in Beijing. It's on sale year-round. So I'm considering to put this in my Beijing Terada Mokei."

Terada said that he hopes his miniatures of city scenes help people recognize a city that is totally strange to them, or recall happy bits of moments of a city while they are away from them. He wants to give people a sense of what the buildings are like through the scenes.

"Creating a typical scene in a city is also a way of reflecting what the architectures are like. I mean, you don't really have to look at the buildings, you can imagine it through the people and the activities taking place around it," Terada said.

As an architect, Terada is a multiple winner of the Good Design Award in Japan. He graduated from Meiji University in Tokyo, and studied in Architectural Association School of Architecture in the UK.
