Origami House
Hey guys,
Here's a video of the Origami House from last semester. ITS SO COOL.
"Origami House" is the largest house made of folded paper. In total, the team used up OVER 1 square kilometer of paper (!), 15,000 folds, around 8 full-day weekends to fold, and 5 days to simply install.
The design of the bricks used in the house are pretty incredible. It's a modular model with the size 2 x 1 that interlocks like normal bricks. It has a really strong strength vs. weight ratio; ONE brick can hold over 6 kg of water without showing any signs of buckling.
The purpose was just to create something childlike, a house with the typical triangle and squares.. etc. That's why they used 45 degree angles for the rooftop. People viewing it are intended to walk INSIDE the house and notice all the details, the strength, the scale, and also reflect upon the process.
