Daryl Mulvihill shares my frustration and posted an article on Failed Architure about a cutout that caught her eye. Titled ‘The mysterious adventures of the boy in the yellow cap’. It is a hilarious story of one boy’s epic journey. This ends with him being cut away from his mother and alone in and reunite him and his mother. skalgubbar.se. was created by a student, Teodor Emdén, in Sweden when architextur.es has a smaller but growing collection of cutouts that can be searched by their gender, facing direction and posture. escalalatina.com has the answer when any eccentric latino friends.
I took on this task and after some investigative journalism (‘layer-via-cut’ing them onto a new PSD and Googling that) I found the lost boy and his birthplace! I also came across him in rather odd parts of the web.
The yellow capped kid was born on archinoah.com. This site also has over 1000 other cutout people and more than 100 animals as the name suggests.
These cutouts are the staple of many They are also used by starchitects including Thomas Heatherwick, Zaha Hadid and Bjarke Ingels.
