This polygonal geometry is materialised in\u00a0paper\u00a0cut on the laser cutter, and it is designed in such a way to be able\u00a0to be easily\u00a0folded and assembled by hand.<\/p>\n<p>In order to arrive to this geometry that can be easily materialised, the initial curved surface is triangulated, and pyramids are generated, whose number may vary. The geometry of the pyramid is chosen because it has the advantage of being easy to fold and unfold, whilst it can give the paper the necessary stiffness to create geometries that are structurally demanding. The larger the number of the pyramids, the more the generated geometry resembles to the initial surface, as it has higher \u2018resolution\u2019. However, too big a number of pyramids would eventually pose difficulties during the construction phase.<\/p>\n<p>An experimentation with a variety of surfaces was carried out in order to find the limits and examine the problems of the Grasshopper definition. Throughout this process, many weaknesses were identified, improvements were made, and a series of objectives were set for future research.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-125\" src=\"http:\/\/ioannamitropoulouarch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Untitled-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2385\" height=\"3171\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ioannamitropoulouarch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Untitled-1.jpg 2385w, https:\/\/ioannamitropoulouarch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Untitled-1-226x300.jpg 226w, https:\/\/ioannamitropoulouarch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Untitled-1-768x1021.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ioannamitropoulouarch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Untitled-1-770x1024.jpg 770w, https:\/\/ioannamitropoulouarch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Untitled-1-973x1294.jpg 973w, https:\/\/ioannamitropoulouarch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Untitled-1-508x675.jpg 508w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2385px) 100vw, 2385px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Personal Project<\/p>\n<p>Supervisor: <strong>Fran\u00e7ois Guena<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Carried out during my Erasmus Studies at\u00a0Architecture Paris La Villette<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Computational design, laser cutting and assembly by hand of paper origami shapes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":144,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,74,73],"tags":[13,15,8,14],"class_list":["post-122","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-computational-design","category-grasshopper","category-undergraduate-student-project","tag-grasshopper","tag-origami","tag-parametric","tag-python"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ioannamitropoulouarch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/122","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ioannamitropoulouarch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ioannamitropoulouarch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ioannamitropoulouarch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ioannamitropoulouarch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=122"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/ioannamitropoulouarch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/122\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":261,"href":"https:\/\/ioannamitropoulouarch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/122\/revisions\/261"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ioannamitropoulouarch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/144"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ioannamitropoulouarch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=122"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ioannamitropoulouarch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=122"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ioannamitropoulouarch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=122"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
