PAPER FOREST - SCREEN WALL
Began as an exercise in understanding the adaptability of paper as material, Paper Forest expands upon the investigation by making how it acts as a building material. Thus, by repeating modules of the same material with dimensions, it leads to the development of a screen wall composed of those stackable units. Keeping in mind of the screen wall's existence usually as a shading device from sunlight and a barrier to divide spaces, this project also explores how each paper module affects the overall durability against the harsh Tucson sunlight through several hours of the day. From there, Paper Forest is used to explore the concept of a screen wall as a design tool and how it can be developed using a material that's as accessible as construction paper and technical drawings.
