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

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.

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.

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.
