SURFACE AND PATTERN
Module 3 illustrates a transition between axonometric and orthographic representation to 3 dimensional modelling through the exploration of pattern and surface. By developing an understanding of surface - anything between two lines, a developable geometry was made. Then, with the integration of pattern and the understanding of different forms of relationships, a panelised landscape was created.
​
An appreciation for the capabilities and quality of paper was integral to ensure the surface would be developable. This required, at times, simplifying and modifying the design to ensure the proposed model was achievable. Through trial and error and a detailed understanding of the Rhino software a digital model was produced. In order to transfer this to a physical model each panel had to be unrolled. Due to the complexity of shapes this had to be done individually with no more than two shapes unrolled together. Consequently, to ensure these pieces could be put together in the correct order a colour coding system was used. Once the shapes were cut out, a sewing machine was used along the fold lines to obtain a crisp, accurate fold with the thick paper.
