The semester has concluded and our Digital Fabrication research has ended as well. Our four person research trajectory was exploring how to use parallel pleat techniques found in origami to manipulate plastic in a way that can be aggregated into a self standing structure. Before we even chose research topics I had begun to fold parallel pleated octagons after seeing them in an origami […]
