WEEK 6 READING: SURFACES THAT CAN BE BUILT FROM PAPER IN ARCHITECTURAL GEOMETRY Question 1: What are the three elementary types of developable surfaces? Provide a brief description. (Maximum 100 words) The three basic types of developable surfaces are cylinders, cones and tangent surface of a space curve. The cylinder derives its shape from a series of parallel lines, extruded to indicate the circumference of the cylinder, known as the normal section, this is able to be smoothed out to form straight line segments. The Cone’s shape comes from a single origin point from which a series of vertices extrude from. this shape can be seen deriving from the unfolding of the simple pyramid.

Question 2: Why is the understanding of developable surface critical in the understanding of architectural geometry? Choose one precedent from Research/Precedents tab on LMS as an example for your discussion. (Maximum 100 words) The comprehension of a developable surface is crucial in understudying architectural geometry as it provides the foundational basics which break down geometric shapes and curves into their basic structure. For instance in Plasma Studio’s Greenhouse the use of developable surfaces allowed the architects to form the repetitious triangular patterns that scale the glass paned windows and roofs. Moreover it allows for the integration of a geometric pattern into an organic landscape by mapping that land and then shaping the structure into the hillside.

WEEK 7 READING: DIGITAL FABRICATION Complete your reading before attempting these questions:

Question 1: What is digital fabrication and how does it change the understanding of two dimensional representation? (Maximum 100 words) Digital fabrication is the process in which computer aided design (CAD) programs are used to compute calculate the manufacturing process of any sort of design. Essentially it provides a digital representation of the physical realm and allows for a streamlined production process. This alters our perception of the representation of dimensional space as we can understand the alternative uses of materials that would be restricted to the 2Dl space in a three dimensional context, such as the use of CNC machines to cut 2D material to make a 3D structure.W

Question 2: Suggest two reasons why folding is used extensively in the formal expression of building design? (Maximum 100 words) Essentially what folding allows us to do is to turn almost any flat surface, (two dimensional) into one that is now three dimensional. It can have practical reasoning such as providing rigidity and structure to a building through the dispersing of loads but from a design perspective it also can “create fluidity and multifunctionality with continuous surface.� Moreover the use of folding is seen as an effective and efficient way of construction and design as it allows for simple geometry to be built in more complex designs with ease.
