FOLDING ARCHITECTURE:

Spatial, Structural and Organizational Diagrams 

Turning 2 D into 3D

This is another strategy for exploring creativity and design in un-practiced ways.  We do this exercise so that we can explore shape and form quickly, so that we can see how to turn 2D into 3D and to understand all sorts of possible tools.

Part 1

- Divide and cut a sheet of plain paper (8.5"x11 ") into 4 equal parts - on each piece, create one example of each operation from A, B, C and D. -  they will be used to create taxonomy of operations to compare the differences/similarities.

Part 2

Start this next part while you are thinking about your metaphor/concept.

Using 2 pieces of paper  or card stock (8.5"x11 ") on each piece, create one example of each operation from A, B, C and D.  Once you have used one from each column you can add any other operations that you would like to create a 3D composition

- Photograph these so that you can create a taxonomy of operations to compare the differences/similarities.

Follow these rules

• 2 designs must begin with cut and 2 designs with score

• To each of these four explorations add one operation from B+C+D.

• Select them as you wish in no order.

• After you have completed the first requirements, you may perform as many operations as you deem necessary.

• Keep track of the operations and the sequence of operations, make a list and record them on your phone

• You will need to document and be able to review them step by step. Photography works great for this

• You may glue or tape portions together in order to hold the model together ..
