Mapping the physical architecture

Mapping the physical architecture-
By using tha paper survey the the corner of physical space and follow the sunlight through the forest to cast the shadow on the paper.
Each model of papers are in the process of surveying the site.
The shapes are based on the light project on them and cut some piece of them to keep the darkness form. Some of shapes are folded by the site of form and the shadow of the tree cast on them.
These process are synchronized with time and the final one is concealed in the shadow of physcial architecture.
In the end, all the process of piece of papers are expanded and try to reorganize the original paper.
The new one is observing site drawing of map.

the sketch of drawing process of models:
The piece of papers are cut by light through them:



All the process is put on one drawing:Next step is to look the landscap is disturbed by the light through the model of paper and the shadow of forest cast on it.The drawing is described the geometry is changed by the external things,ie. the sunlight,the shadow of forest,and the paper.


The red line is described the process of line of papers are folded and overturned into the site.

Folding Architecture

1.Sophia Vyzoviti:Spatial, Structural and Organizational Diagrams

Folding is a relatively new trend in architecture. It is very playful way of designing, which offers free rein to spontaneity and surprise during the design process.
The technique of folding in contemporary architecture is vividly illustrated with a survey of much-discussed concepts, projects and buildings in which this technique was applied. Compulsory for every architect wishing to design outside the mainstream. Sophia Vysivoti is an architect and teaches design method at the architectural faculty of the TU in Delft.


2.Matthew Shlian is an Ann Arbor, Michigan based paper engineer, architect, teacher and sculptor.
"The enthusiasm of my students often finds its way into my studio practice. Seeking sources from diverse backgrounds, I have realized that when different approaches collide, remarkable results occur. The lab and the studio share a symbiotic relationship. Rooted in both print media and the book arts, my methodology has grown to include science and technology among its main influences. The act of folding lends itself to a creative and impulsive process as well as a calculated one. In my studio the fold is the starting point, the place where energy is transferred and from the initial fold to subsequent ones, sculptures develop. In the lab the fold is used for both representation and research. Bio-mimicry, the act of extrapolating design principles from nature, fuels my work. Protein mis-folding, the root cause of Alzheimer’s and cystic fibrosis, is mapped on a human scale from paper to gain understanding of structural problems. Solar cells woven into textiles become flexible and using paper engineering techniques we can better understand the complex issues of “micro-origami” and the problems inherent in scaling our folds to a nanoscale."
