Folding techniques and origami principles applied to architectural and design projects.
ORIGAMI DEPLOYABLE STRUCTURES AS ADAPTIVE RESPONSES TO INDIA'S CLIMATIC ZONES
Folding the Future investigates origami-inspired deployable structures as rapid, climate-responsive emergency shelters for India's diverse regions. Comparative structural analysis of folding patterns using TPU and ETFE identifies Miura-ori as optimal for compact, fast deployment, leading to a hybrid Miura-Eggbox proposal for scalable disaster-relief shelters.

Folding the Future: Origami Deployable Structures as Adaptive Responses to India's Climatic Zones An investigation into origami-inspired deployable structures as climate-adaptive emergency shelters for India. Through structural analysis of folding patterns and material evaluation, the study identifies Miura-ori and Accordion patterns with TPU membranes as optimal solutions for rapid disaster relief across India's diverse climatic zones.
ANCHESTOR
The structure seems a little unrefined and isn't attractive. I'd have liked some indication of the materials proposed.
If the candidate wished to return to the project, I would recommend that s/he simplify and clarify the purpose of the structure, purify the folding to create a form that has greater visual beauty and look for greater clarity of explanation. This project offered so much promise, but needed a simpler and more coherent relationship between the concept and the realization of it.
Origami Pavilion
Saturday Market and Art Exhibition Space Located in the lively Grand lake area of Oakland California, the project aims to elevate the experience people have of this popular Saturday market destination by supporting local artists and artisans to show their work.
A generally very successful submission, well presented, well conceived and well designed. The folding is entirely appropriate to the concept. It is a folded form that could continue to develop through many iterations, at many scales and with many different materials, to create a diversity of temporary, semi-permanent and permanent structures.
Great design. Very well presented.
A great solution to the design brief which as an origami artist I find attractive and practical.
Crumple: Foldable Architecture
This project investigates the housing crisis in Dadaab camp in Kenya. The manifesto in which the geometry reidentify the process of foldable tensile structure. Manifold creates a three-dimensional space that allow refugees to designate their own spaces based on their own needs.
Paper Street
‘Paper-street’ is recognized to transform underutilized urban spaces into vibrantly activated, mixed social and artistic destinations. It is located at Goold Street in Central, Sydney - one of the 100 metres long low use lane way. This kind of underused space is common in Sydney.
Good
Awesome project
