ORIGAMI STREET ART

I have been really interested in origami and I came across this really cool project taken up by a french artist who transforms streets into places of art!
  
Mademoiselle-Maurice is a French artist who devoted herself entirely to colorful creations as she describes herself.-www.mademoisellemaurice.com/

Using such sustainable materials and a creative mind, even the most dire circumstances and spaces can be transformed to works of art! Waste spaces can be made into useful spaces, forgotten spaces into lively focus points, and other important landmarks.

First Impressions

 Being an international student from India, Nottingham was a like a pot of culture. Everything seemed new and different. A good different. A place which is dominated by students from all over the world. New languages, new weather, new faces......Having an architecture background, the first thing I noticed was the Gothic European architecture throughout. Felt like I was on a movie set for a James Bond movie! The city is quaint and just ideal for walking around. One of the most pedestrian friendly places I have seen, coming from a place where the motto between the vehicles and pedestrians is “Its either you or me”. I just love the city and am very excited for the total Nottingham experience!
