Folding, structural and micri-event experimentation

For Week 10
1- Continue your folding exercise with 3 layers of different concepts:

Structure-outside skin (hard cardboard)
Transparency-opacity (transparent,tracing paper, multi-cuts paper)

Interior-furniture (thiner cardboard)

Once you have your first layer, the one in hard cardboard, you should try to redo another layer of the same geometry with a thiner paper/carboard and put it against your first layer using masking tape at points that need structural support. There would be moment where the 2 layers would not match, creating pockets of structural reinforcement.

You could play with the thiner cardboard to fold furnitures, using the same rules (small cut+folding). Do the same with the transparent plastic, see where glazing and opaque geometry could happen.

Document your work in progress with digital photography and set a clear power point presenting your work illustrated by diagrams.

2- Digitise your folding geometry according to the site constraints and the program. You can either use scripting with grasshopper or simple Rhino. Draw diagrams and sketches of your design so we can understand the volume, concept and scale of your project.

3- Bring a power point showing your work in progress.
