I Had Never Heard Of The Term,

paper engineer,


until I saw the work of German artist Peter Dahmen, while studying graphic design in college he was given the assignment of creating a 3D object out of paper, He soon realised he had a small problem, 

 how to get his project to college without crushing it?

he found the answer, make his work flat and when at college open it up like a book, a decision that would change his life, He enjoyed the challenge so much that be became obsessed with creating more elaborate designs, eventually leading to a full-time career as a paper engineer, filmmaker Christopher Helkey recently sat down with Dahmen as he demonstrates some of his more incredible paper sculptures, many more of which you can see on his YouTube channel, so now I know what a paper engineer is.
