Week 2 - Studio Exercise 2 - Paper Folding

In the studio, we were instructed to interpret architecture design by folding paper. Before beginning folding paper away, I've looked at Weasley blog spot that contain videos about paper folding that has furthered my knowledge of folding paper, most in particular was the scrunching of paper technique.

First Model

So I anxiously got stuck into business of folding paper and the first approach I took of interpreting Santiago Calatrava's Palau de les Arts Reina Sofia was overall literal and visual aspects of his design. I focused on was the roof that is a spline as a way start my model.

Side Elevation

Top Evaluation


Result:
Overall appearance the folded paper model looks similarly to a body of a beetle. The body of the paper model represents the roof of the opera house.

Second Model

My second attempt to have a different perspective of the building, top elevation. So viewing from the top view and overall literal method of interpret, I've made slices to the paper, bend, fold and pinched accordingly to make a bowl shape.

Perspective View

Top Elevation


Result:

Third Model

The third time I've also repeated the method of the second attempt with different view to model.

Perspective

Front Elevation
Result:
I forgot to take a photo for a top elevation of this paper model, however while making the paper model i observed the overall appearance has become very primitive as if it were conceptual, deconstructed back to some kind of body part, the face.
