Experiment 1: The Fold

Stage 3: The desire to create enclosed spaces

Method: For stage three we took inspiration from the desire of some of the initial 2 and 3 fold structures to form into curved shapes. We then added the methodology of stage 2 to them, However instead of running all the cuts to the same edge the cuts where staggered between alternate edges giving us the ability to altering the folding pattern that was available.




Results: The Curved shapes responded very well to the addition of cuts in any number, forming what could both be described as enclosed spaces and also due to the flexible nature of the objects in this form apparently limitless possibility for variation. This increased flexibility of variation however did come at a loss of structural integrity with the objects not being able to hold their shape and any slight movement causing them to vary. The form of the objects produced had the possibility to be described as both mechanical and biological in nature.
