A8: #Seventeen, Pre-jury (I)

Given:

• Opaque surface materials: 1mm cardboard or corrugated cardboard
• Translucent surface materials: wire mesh, translucent acetate paper
• Stick materials: wooden sticks, metal wire

Design a total number of seventeen interrelated volumes with varying qualities (scale, proposition, surface qualities, material, permeability, accessibility, level of illumination etc.)
You need to follow some rules while designing:

• You are required to use one single cardboard element as a continuous surface that folds and bends throughout the design.
• In addition to the cardboard, you are required to select and use at least three materials from the list. You are allowed to use the elements made out of these materials in any size, number and shape.
• Your design needs to occupy a total volume of approximately 60.000 cm³.
• Your design should have excellent workmanship and stability.

Requirements:

• Your model
• Posters that express your design ideas and concepts
• Partial models that clarify your design concepts, if necessary

Photos of my design concept.

I started designing by creating a group by the folded surface which has three interrelated voids and two openings to make connections with other groups. I've repeated this group 5 times until the design completed itself. You can easily read my groups in the photos because they have the same volumes and the photos are taken to show that.

My continuous surface is too linear actually, but with too many foldings I've managed to get a complex design. That was my main idea; break the linearity by using linear developments.
