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 elementary types of developable surfaces contains cylinders, cones and tangent surfaces of space curves.Their tangent plane is always tangent to their surface along an entire ruling and not just in a single point. A developable surface contains only parabolic surface points or flat points
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) Insert your answer here....

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 favricatiion is the architectural and material techniques documents architecturally innovative projects realized through digital design and constructive processes. It is a brief, practical and informative way of representation. Digital fabrication makes it easier and more accuate to build a 3D moddel, with a effective way of representation the building.
Question 2: Suggest two reasons why folding is used extensively in the formal expression of building design? (Maximum 100 words) Folding turns a flat surface into three demensional ones.

the arrangement of 3D and 2D paneling was inspired by the Chinese knot. As shown in the picture left, 2D panel in the model were arranged like strings while the 3D panel gives the impression of spaces betwen strings.
