The Folding Blueprint
Interactive catalog exploring paper sculptures through structural visualization and transformation sequences
Interactive Catalog
Explore each sculpture through wireframe visualization and step-by-step transformation
Geometric Spiral
A complex structure based on logarithmic spiral principles. The wireframe reveals the underlying mathematical framework that guides each fold sequence.
Modular Assembly
Composed of repeated geometric units that interlock to form larger structures. The transformation animation demonstrates how individual elements combine.
Radial Symmetry
Forms that extend outward from a central point, creating balanced compositions. The fold pattern unfolds systematically from the center.
Visualization Method
The wireframe view represents the structural skeleton of each piece, highlighting the crease patterns and geometric relationships that define the final form.
Hovering over an item reveals the paper texture, showing how the mathematical framework translates into physical material. This interactive approach helps understand the relationship between design and construction.
Transformation Sequences
Understanding the progression from flat sheet to three-dimensional form
Initial State
Each sculpture begins as a flat sheet with pre-scored fold lines. The crease pattern contains all information needed for the final structure.
Folding Process
Systematic folding follows a specific sequence, with each step building upon the previous one. The order matters for structural integrity.
Final Form
The completed structure maintains its shape through interlocking folds and geometric tension. Understanding this process informs both design and execution.
Design Documentation
Each piece in the catalog includes detailed documentation of its crease pattern and folding sequence. These blueprints serve as both design records and construction guides.
The interactive visualization tools allow users to explore different aspects of each sculpture, from structural geometry to material properties and assembly methods.
