The shape of the folded surfaces

Drawing control and analysis

Among the various ways of dealing with surface folding, this text analyzes the properties of the fold in determining surfaces that admit different spatial configurations. The problems faced in these experimental models have promoted the geometric solution that has the advantage of being more effective in the visualization of the form and therefore in generating creative ideas within the design process. In this perspective, the experimental use of the Visual Programming Language that operates in the three-dimensional modeling facilitates the analysis and design of reactive architectures.

Geometry is the first origami property observed, but this is followed by symmetry, balance and proportion. Aesthetic, technical and geometric parameters that make the design of these surfaces particularly interesting for architecture, engineering and design.
