INTRODUCTION inCrease Our project is initiated into paper folding and fractal. Folding is comprised by mountain and valley creases and these lines run continuously. Fractal in geometric aspect is represented the same meaning of infinity lines with logic. We develop our project in these creases. We are now more focusing on paper architecture and component based optimization system of formation generation. By following this logic the folding language will increase automatically or even naturally. Paper is easy to get and be manufactured, and it has unique characteristics such as cheap, light, easy to be formed, and the most important one is it has various formation potential when it is folded. Nature’s main process of creation, which is called morphogenesis, is an optimize way of generating new cells which can also be referred to the formation generation method. Cell based on certain rules and constrains to build up superior structure and finally form the complex organism. Therefore, this research is investigating into three parts, the materiality of paper, the integration of different design language, and the logic of cells generation.

INITIAL STUDY Initial Reference faceture vase, Cuttance / 2012 The faceture series consists of handmade faceted vessels, light-shades and table. Each object is produced individually by casting a water-based resin into a simple handmade mould. The mould is then manually manipulated to create the each object's form before each casting, making every piece utterly unique.

Richard’s practice combines the disciplines of design, photography, craft and sculpture, resulting in a varied output of work including graphic design and public sculpture commissions. Richard seeks to maintain an experimental, hand-on approach, utilising the unique properties of often mundane materials to discover unique sculptural forms.

These tubes are more like the replacement of concrete or steel columns and beams rather than a material system based on the probably most important figure of paper, which is easily foldable. Our project aims to find new architecture forms generated by following paper’s characters and a reliable material system based on paper itself.

INITIAL STUDY Reference One Pattern Many Forms, Smith / 2013 Folding any piece of paper by touching two points together reveals a tetrahedron pattern. All circles inherently carry the properties of this pattern in that first fold, which can then be reformed in countless ways. The tetrahedron is principle because it is first in alignment. The following pictures show a variety of many possibly variations of tetrahedra formed to an equilateral triangle grid using only four 9� paper plate circles each. They are all folded the same way, reconfigured differently, and joined to the same pattern in forming a wide range of designs.
UCL - THE BARTLETT SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE fig. 1-4-1 - 20 -
Fig. 1-4-1 shows the random selection of variations in forming tetrahedron pattern.
INITIAL STUDY Reference Paper Pulp Helmet, Tom Gottelier, Bobby Petersen & Ed Thomas / 2013 Developed as collaboration between designers Tom Gottelier, Bobby Petersen and Ed Thomas from the Royal College of Art in London, the ‘paper pulp helmet’ is exactly as its title states; a moulded protective bike helmet made from discarded newspapers. The potential life-saving accessory has been conceived to be produced in large scale batches using minimal amounts of energy, with the concept proposes to be dispensed in conjunction with the barclays bike share system.

UCL - THE BARTLETT SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE
Fig. 1-5-3 shows the process of how to prepare crease to fold a triangle. STEP 2 Start with a open circle and 3 diameters. Fold 3 alternate points on circumference(1, 3, 5) to the center point. Crease well. This forms a 2 frequency equilateral triangle. Each edge length is divided in two equal parts. Circle to Triangle
Fig. 1-5-4 shows the process of how to fold a triangle from a circle.

INITIAL STUDY Frequence Folding Pattern four frequence folding pattern
STEP 3 Fold each end point of the triangle to the mid point on the opposite side. Do all 3 folds individually. Do not overlap these folds. Crease well each fold using a hard straight edge.
Fig. 1-5-5 shows the process of how to prepare crease to fold a terahedron.
STEP 4 Bring end point together forming a tetrahedron. Glue full length along the edges to hold it together. This gives form to the tetrahedron pattern in the first fold. Triangle to Tetrahedron

Crease which created by the folding process is a continuous formation lanuague and will be infinate if the based material is continued. Fractal and morphogenesis, as the nature’s generation process, provide a reasonable system when dealing with the continuous growing structure. Our idea is to borrow the formation logic from nature and to apply this in both design and material system.

fractal aggregation In this large scale object practice, we set up a boundary box of 5m*10m. One seed cluster was set up in one of the corner to be growed in a given amount of each layer.
final aggregation complex (with components shown)
UCL - THE BARTLETT SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE
n = 106 step = 003
second & third layer iteration
n = 053 step = 003
first layer iteration
After the ideally grwon clusters all reached to the boundary or grow to the iteration number, the growth process is finished. Next step is to take away the components which will not be used for certain functions.
