Archigami

To Fold for Strength

Archigami is an exploration of a structure that can be rapidly constructed, transported, and deployed. Using origami plate-folding techniques, the Archigami form is able to be erected from a completely flat position into a stable structure in one movement.

The project investigates fold patterns, structural heights, and cladding assemblies through physical cardboard prototypes and digital models.
