A revolutionary research. Every pop-up kirigami shows 4 different plane directions: 1, 2, 3 and 4
Der «Club Dihei» startete gestern Montag bereits zum fünften Mal in eine neue Woche. Im Programm der kommenden Woche verstecken sich viele Hochkaräter, diverse Labels und interessante Newcomer. Montag Dieser ist leider bereits passé. Die Künstler vom Label «Kritikel» haben den Wochenstart mit zwei Sets und einem darauffolgenden b2b bereits ordentlich eingeweiht. Bereits nachzuhören ist

Kirigami Honeycombs: Honeycombs can be found in a vast variety of structures, especially as core infill for composite sandwiches used in aerospace structures as well as your everyday kitchen door. For certain applications it is useful to have section-varying honeycombs …
A short 3-day workshop at the Łódź University of Technology with a fantastic outcome. Together with 17 students, we managed to do some interesting exercises and build a 1.9m tall beast from half millimetre thick card paper. As evident in the diagrams, the beast was designed and modelled as a cluster of polyhedra, and then a series of scripts were applied to make it curved-foldable. Apart from how strong it was structurally (at least to support itself), there were two interesting outcomes of the workshop: In continuing the lineage of curved folding (previously here and here), this prototype proved that curved folded polyhedra can be aggregated to form more complex structures (albeit to a limited extent). Secondly, it never fails to amaze me how nicely this shape lends itself to fabrication and quick assembly: this piece took about 5 hours of laser cutting time and a further 5 hours to fold, glue and assemble together; and all this by a group of 17 students who had never done any form of curved folding before.

A Keystone Piece Locks Everything Together Alignment Checks SuperLight: One of the Advantages of Paper Almost there: The Crown Being put into Place All done: The Entire Team Thanks to everyone involved for making this possible and finishing up with such an astonishing outcome in just 3 short days, and to the avid photographers for documenting the entire workshop and taking the pictures you see above. A special thanks to Anetta and Sebastian for all their hard work, time and working relentlessly to make sure everything went smoothly, and all the things we took for granted. I am curious to see how long this piece stands against the brutality of moisture and curious human beings, which over time will soften and distort the paper eventually buckling and deforming.

A research fellow at the University of Melbourne has found a sneaky way to convert math haters to math lovers. He turns complex geometries into art
Icosahedron Form : My goal was to make a large sphere with some flat planes to create a round form that is virtually clear, with minimum glare so I could photograph into the center of it. The benefits of an icosahedron over a true sphere are that you can make it with …
Some people there may be who haven't folded this yet and still want to. The clues we left were not the easiest to follow. Here is a colored crease pattern, black for mountain, magenta for valley, gray ghost lines for folds that were there, but don't figure into the finished model. This isn't step-by-step, mind you. These are just some hints on the hard parts, like how to get the pyramid in the vesica piscis and how to get the top half to wrap around the bottom.

Continuing the lineage of research on Curved Folding, the AA Visiting School Bangalore series titled HyperThreads explored the subject over an intense 10-day workshop in 2012. Some very cool student projects, a lot of good energy, and finally two super-nice folded aluminium sculptures. Credits: ZHA: Shajay Bhooshan, Mustafa El Sayed, Suryansh Chandra, John Klein Sasaki & Partners: Chikara Inamura Populous: Alicia Nahmad AA DRL: Shilpa Pattar and the hosts InFORM Architects and InCITE gallery, Bangalore. The finished sculptures. Student work: corrupting known Origami tesselations. Student work: curved folds as structural stiffeners. Student work: curved folds as structural stiffeners. Student work: the elegant simplicity of 3 curved folds on a sheet of paper. Algorithmic method to setup a pipeline with which we could design. Process video: Convex polygons to developable surfaces. Design to Production: 15 sheets of aluminium, 3 hours of laser cutting. Stability: Check. 1am in the studio, and we begin assembly. Hand foldability: Check. Hand-folded panels. Simple assembly tools: spanners and screw-drivers. The first piece coming together. The tricky last bits: fitting the last screws. Finished pieces. Paper models | Metal cousins. Curvature continuity: Check. More eye-candy :) The team, minus a few.
