Architectural Languages: Origami Architecture


I found an architectural proposition in the garbage truck, which is folding principles. I created various types of conceptual models to understand how they create space and how they consist of each other for construction. By analysing the architectural proposition and doing some tests, I decided to explore Origami Architecture. Origami, derived from “ori”, meaning folding, and “gami”, meaning paper, is a traditional Japanese art of paper folding. This concept has spread across continents over time, shaping its evolution, practice, techniques, and use. As an Origami conceptual model, I can develop an overall architectural design strategy.
