The form finding process inspired by folding techniques gives an astonishing formal richness and variability [21], such as Yoshimura pattern, Miura Ori pattern and Diagonal pattern.
The three patterns are particularly interesting for architectural form design as these forms allow rapidly complex folded plate structures in space along with unfolded, which is also the core in other applications of folding techniques in architectural form design. The present review reveals that folding techniques have been systematically studied and there are clear indications that folding techniques have positive con-.
Table 1. Folding structure systems. Figure 3. Static behavior of different folding structures [5]. Figure 4. However, there are few previous studies specifically on investigating the folding techniques in architecture design at the level of cognitive science.
In addition to considering folding techniques at the level of cognitive science, the reverse process of folding is an often overlooked field used in architecture design, the process of unfolding 3D forms also contains lots of information useful for architecture design.
For example, answering whether polygon P can be folded into polyhedron Q with polyhedron Q is a kind of unfolding techniques to find common developments from plural cuboids [25]. Figure 5 shows an. Figure 5. As the derivative of folding techniques, unfolding techniques is considered as another geometric modelling system applicable in architecture design, which prefer simulating the deconstruction process in architecture design.
This research presents a general review of folding techniques and their applications in architecture design. Considering the techniques as a form finding process, it is an original mechanism to obtain inspirations both in architectural structure and form design. Furthermore, it plays an important role of design stimulus in the early stage of architecture design process, which generates most ideas in the whole design process.
For future development of folding techniques in architecture design, this research presents two new research fields. The first new field is investigating folding techniques from the perspective of cognitive science, considering folding techniques as a kind of design stimulus and exploring their applications within the framework of a concept synthesizing process may achieve more creativity in architecture design.
The second new field is exploring the applications of unfolding techniques for architecture design, as the reverse process of folding. It is more similar to the deconstruction process in architecture design, which opens a wide perspective for developing folding techniques in architecture design.

International Journal of Architectural Computing, 12, Journal of Mechanisms and Robotics, 8, International Journal of Space Struc-tures, 30, ACS Nano, 2, Folding and the associated development of hand-eye co-ordination liberates the design thought-process from preconceptions and removes any existing architectonic images. The limitation that the technique of folding brings with it sharpens the mind and stimulates creativity.
Folding also implicitly allows accidental and unknown end-results for a relatively long period of the design process. The enormous number of possibilities makes a choice necessary. Lines must be drawn in sometimes chaotic, yet remarkable, folding models. The scope, suitability and significance of these will be a subject for discussion. There are two observations to be made here: Folding is not concerned with creating a new style but rather with searching for links.
Forms bring up the problem of human scale, as they can unconsciously display monumental characteristics. Connectivity is consequential performance. Loops and Crossings are emergent space concepts. Given the educational context, the spatial, structural and organizational diagrams emerging in the process are developed into architectural prototypes.
The goal here is to attribute architectural properties to the diagram introducing parameters of material, program and context. Enviar comentario. Architecture , Books. Architecture , Sustainability. He must know something about everything but does noy hat to know everything about anything».
