4_4 PROLIFERATIVE FOLDING
February 16, 2010
Folding Surface is one of the most attractive geometries in contemporary architecture. This one is a surface geometry which is based on ‘proliferative’ folding. The number of folding is proliferating and the scale of folding is going down. Absolutely, the number of foldings and divisions, folding depth and base geometries are all parametric. It could be applied to various architectural elements; canopy, dom, wall, … etc.
It started from a simple tree structure of points like this below.
And it could be applied by using path and profile curves.

Hey, this is real nice… shame it is not developable though; I am sure it could be with some modifications to the fold pattern.
it is really cool. when you are saying (false/true) in the cull pattern command – what exactly do you mean – switch from false to true? and when you are saying (false/true/true/false) ?
Thanks for interest. It’s ‘Cull Manage Pattern”, If you do a right click on Cull Pattern component, you can see “Manage Pattern” menu. You can extract specific data order with this input control.

Really interested. I’m working in a folding structure at this moment too. One cuestion about your Grasshopper’s guide… What’s the difference between discontinuous and continuous line?? thanks
