B.1 RESECH FIELD This part of the journal is investigated the research led of Strip and Folding. The Strip and Folding is known as the computation design technique. It can be used to transform a single at surface into a volume. Both strip and folding are very important element in the architecture design led. In fact, that the folding technique was an important part in the history of architecture. As discuss by the architecture historian Deleuze, the element of folding is endlessly producing operative, and the folding had played and Important roll in Baroque design as points of in ection, elastic point and transformations are all important components in Baroque mathematics.
With development of computation nowadays, there are increase of architects as well as university research group are investigated those computation design. The complicity of the strip and folding also gives uidity and dynamism feeling which can be used to play with the light and shadow. The strip and folding are often used in facade which produced lighting effected under the sun such as the sculptural facade in 10 Hills Place designed by Amanda Levete Architects. This project is located at narrow street, there are four glazed slashed in the aluminium surfaces for the penetration of the light into the building. This is eventually formed by four curved strips in the surface.
Loop 3 design by Code-it is another example of strip, it ‘s composed by numbers of strip to forme the unique curvature form. the strips are forming three loops and merge together to the centre of the design. There is timber structure inside to support the strip to become a stabilised project.
The Archipelago Parametrically designed pavilion is designed by Chalmers University of Technology. The aluminium strip was the main component of this project. To fold the aluminium strip, cease was created, and strip are joined together with saw tooth joints.
There is no doubt that the computation tool is increasing the complexity of the design outcome. The properties and amount of the strip and folding can be controlled by the parameters in the grasshopper to produced wanted product, however it can surprise people with an unexpected produced. But on another hand, the computation tool also makes fabrication easier, this can be achieved by converting design in to smaller component which can be orderly manufacturing the component as well as construction on site. more importantly, the material constrain can be test prior to the construction, the simulation of the material gives a more ef cient and economical way of the construction.
