A new system for the
construction of origami inspired lightweight wooden structures.
Due to the asymmetric
inclination of the panels some main fold edges are shifted and the offset
surface intersects in two vertices.
From preliminary research at IBOIS to implementation on a full-scale building.
The research can be further explored in the following publication:
Origami - Folded plate structures, IBOIS, Hani Buri
