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.
