About Discussions Projects7 Journals13 Publications2

Origami, the traditional art of paper folding, has become a significant design methodology in contemporary architecture and spatial design. Designers use origami principles to create innovative structures, interactive spaces, and functional objects that explore geometry, materiality, and transformation.

The community examines how folding systems generate pavilions and public installations, develop cooling and shading solutions, transform existing buildings and landscapes, and create interactive environments. Projects range from temporary structures to permanent architectural interventions that demonstrate origami's practical applications beyond paper.
