“With the same few folds, one pinch with a different pressure can make a big difference.”

“With the same few folds, one pinch with a different pressure can make a big difference.”

One should ask when designing
When should I stop?
The final piece is full of life if it has soul
Without the soul, it will look stiff and dead
Simple or Complex then do not matter
Think more
or
feel more?
“I’m finding things that I want to say and I’m using origami as a medium”
Joseph Wu, who talks about his works on the theme of depression in this video.
“As we think to create form we punctuate space, we cannot escape the trace – arching, bridging, folding, packing. There is rhythm as we fork or branch, each node another buried beat. As we fold, each ridge is a structure. As we pack things together in loose or tight fit, contacts vibrate. As the patterns grow nesting in the elements of architecture, the composition awakens harmony or sharp dissonance that recall safety or danger, stability or imminent collapse. Unbearable tensions or repeating compliances – deep structure is always felt. A large part of our survival is built out of such rhythms.”— Cecil Balmond
Je passe mon temps à une activité dont personne ne voit l'utilité. C'est sans doute ce que l'on appelle une passion.

“The strange and beautiful truth about the adjacent possible is that its boundaries grow as you explore them. Each new combination opens up the possibility of other new combinations.”— Steven Johnson
One can think of folding paper as reducing the possible options - from the infinite to a smaller number with each fold. But each new fold has possibilities too. Not only for that model, but beyond the single sheet of paper out in the next model and the next.
“I consider space to be a material. The articulation of space has come to take precedence over other concerns. I attempt to use sculptural form to make space distinct.”— Richard Serra
Origami for space architecture promotes cross-disciplinary approaches and applications, providing state-of-the-art production and design methods. Habitats enhanced by such structures are temporal and alive as they are able to transform and redefine themselves in resonance with human and environmental factors.”

Lead author Dr Pooya Sareh, who led the research at Imperial’s Department of Aeronautics and now directs the Creative Design Engineering Lab at the University of Liverpool, said: “Using an origami-inspired protective layer, we have built a way to let miniature flying robots navigate in confined or cluttered spaces safely and efficiently.”
