German street artist Evol transforms unwanted urban surfaces into miniature lifelike buildings.

The artist uses complicated stencils to quickly transform powerboxes, and other worn urban surfaces into miniature apartment buildings or other structures. By drawing tiny balconies and satellite dishes onto the side of an electrical box, he is able to turn it into a realistic tiny skyscraper.

EVOL’s works are so precise that, when you’re glancing at photographs, it sometimes might be hard to tell that you’re not looking at pictures of real buildings.

The artist creates miniature buildings within different cities and has even been commissioned to do installations in galleries

The first UK exhibition of Berlin-based artist Evol is being staged at the ‘Pictures On Walls’ gallery in Shoreditch, east London from the 2nd December 2012

Playing with the notion of low-income housing and the theme of the discarded and unwanted, Evol also uses "the cheapest and most used" material consisting of old scraps and bits of cardboard for his canvases, creating photo-realistic paintings.

As a form you are going to create a large scale cityscape. Like Evol, your canvas is going to be old pieces of cardboard.

You will all be creating one building each. Depending what number you have will determine the height of your building.
