'Your House'

Apparently commissioned by MoMA, artist Olafur Eliasson has made a 85:1 scale model of his house... inside a book. Each of the 485 pages was individually laser cut, taking about 3 months to complete.

Because it's 'Art', this time consuming process is acceptable but it seems like there must be an easier way. No disrespect to the impressive paper laser cutting skills that went into this, but a mass produced version would be great. The most interesting aspect of this book, to me, is the ability to move through the dimensions of the house as you flip through the book. It would be great to be able to experience that firsthand.
