Most people are familiar with folded paper origami cranes or napkin swans. Some paper folders have graduated to folding elephants, crabs or geometric shapes

Then there are true papercraft artists whose creations are above and beyond a hobbyist's skill. In this case, you have Yee.

"Origami Architecture" is for anyone who aspires to be the type of artist who is meticulous, exacting and fascinated by complexity. A budding architect would find hours of work putting together even one of icons of world architecture in this book.

From wikipedia:
Cassius Marcellus Clay (October 19, 1810 – July 22, 1903), nicknamed "The Lion of White Hall", was an emancipationist from Madison County, Kentucky, United States who served as the American minister to Russia. He was a cousin of Henry Clay and Alabama governor Clement Comer Clay.

Emancipationist
Cassius Clay was a paradox - a southern aristocrat who became a prominent anti-slavery crusader. He was a son of Green Clay, one of the wealthiest landowners and slaveholders in Kentucky. Clay worked toward emancipation, both as a Kentucky state representative and as an early member of the Republican Party.
