4_5 TESSELLATED FOLDING

Hyoung-gul Kook — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 12:13:04 +0000

Tessellated Folding is a basic geometry for all origami folding. It is almost similar with Truss Connection logic. In terms of geometric logic, only difference in folded plates from truss tessellation is connecting with” surface” instead of “lines”.

This geometry below was inspired by Toyo Ito’s Dune Pavilion, but more developed through surface folding geometry. By shifting the group of points, it could generate different degree of folding which defines the flow of space tectonically.

4_4 PROLIFERATIVE FOLDING

Hyoung-gul Kook — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 07:39:34 +0000

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.

6_3 TRANSFORMABLE STRUCTURE

Hyoung-gul Kook — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 09:52:57 +0000

This is an experiment about transformation using grasshopper. By using Theo Jansen’s Mechanism, I tried to test transforming objects without deformation. It can be another possibility of grasshopper as 3d simulation program. Please, play the animation below. The definition is just using series of Circles and Intersections, and ’Evaluate’ functions.

This section and part of definition would be helpful to understand how to build the structure. Once you build unit structure, you can add more as you want just with changing ‘Evaluate value’. (Use ‘Save image as’ on definition image if you want to see the detail of definition.)

This definition below was produced by using previous version of GH.(But the logic and components are all same.) I uploaded it again responding to someone’s requests.

PROJECT : MAKING A NEW GROUND

Hyoung-gul Kook — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 09:01:16 +0000

This is one of my projects at GSAPP by using the 4_3 ORIGAMI FOLDING Components. It was studied with fabrication tools to make it real. If you learn this geometry, please refer to 4_3 ORIGAMI FOLDING Tutorial.

4_3 ORIGAMI FOLDING

This definition looks a little bit complicated, but it would be simple and easy once you understand the behind logic.

First, I’d like to intrce the geometric logic of this Origami Surface I found.

So, building process would be like this below.

4_2 VERTICAL FOLDING

This is Vertical Corrugation geometry which could be applied for jagged or corrugated wall.

4_1 HORIZONTAL FOLDING

Hyoung-gul Kook — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 09:20:10 +0000

There are many ways to build a folding geometry. This is one of the basic folding geometry between two curves. The shape of corrugation could be changed through “Loft” option.
