3.3 Showcase: The Landscape Overlapped

Drawing from theoretical underpinnings on folding and spatial relationships, our model-making process employed acetate sheets to translate the folded images of the combined research drawing into three-dimensional forms. Carefully cutting along the fold lines and anchors delineated in the drawings, we obtained a series of acetates with distinct shapes and pleats, reflecting the ups and downs of the paper folds.

Utilising strong light panels, we analysed the complex objects formed by these acetates, allowing us to determine the foundational shapes for our new building design. Furthermore, we revisited the 3D printed models of the new garden, investigating their potential for integration into novel forms and configurations. This rigorous, iterative process of model-making facilitated the exploration of innovative architectural and spatial possibilities, grounded in our research and theoretical framework.
