About Micromosa

I started Micromosa after spending several years photographing architecture in Taiwan (most notably its old movie theaters), and wanted a more tangible representation of the buildings that caught my interest. Photos are great, but generally it’s hard to get a sense of a building's shape and proportions from a flat image taken from a single angle, so the idea of producing detailed miniatures was born in late 2022.

Using a combination of my own photos, satellite imagery, architectural plans, and historic archival photographs I began producing models of whatever took my fancy. Some famous, some obscure, from the more classical Japanese infleunced architecture of the colonial period, to the brutalist 1970s aesthetic - I’ve got eclectic taste and don’t hold myself to a single style.

Since the first releases I’ve also gone outside Taiwan and added a few buildings from my native UK, and I daresay some other countries will also get a look-in sometime in the future.

This is a labour of love, and I hope that comes across in the attention to detail and care with which these are crafted.
