Folding Patterns
Folding Patterns is an investigation of methods to create three dimensional structures, that have certain controllable properties, by folding paper. First a tool was developed with vvvv to create generative folding patterns with parameters like the folding angle or the amount of folds. These diverse patterns were tested in a physics simulation for their behaviour in several scenarios like a fall from a certain hight and collision with the ground or stability on a vibrating surface.The ultimate goal is to develop an automatic analysis of the behaviour, in order to optimise the folding patterns with an genetic algorithm.
