Paper Plans.

Three of my favorite photos of my paper uni work.

Well actually... the last one is not a favorite photo, but a favorite exploration of weaving paper.I find that basic and complex geometry and architecture both (naturally) go hand in hand. That sounds silly because architecture is geometry, but I mean the sort of geometry you explored in year 8 maths.


I should like to explore paper architecture more.

I advise checking this page out! there are 5 more like it, just follow the page No. at the bottom. It is amazing work.

Folded Inspiration

A while since I have been here. In recent times (the last two weeks) I have been part of the set up a new Officeworks store, and what has been getting at me is the absolute excess of packaging. I have never seen so many boxes and bags. one product came in cardboard packaging, incased in plastic, this was then in a bubble wrap bag. This was then in a box of three, which in turn was in a bigger box with a few other boxes of three. This bigger box was inside another box (for a reason I am yet to figure out...)


It hurts my soul as a greenie.


But as a student of architecture, the folds and ingeniousness of some of the packaging intrigues me. This has led to my folded architecture post (as follows):

I have always found folding and intertwined paper a point of interest, and find that some of my favorite work from uni are simple paper models.
