The beauty of the art of Origami has always been the tradition of which
its based on. The digital masters program at Sydney's University of
Technology has appropriated the very tradition with it's digital
origami. By asking students to study trends in parametric modeling,
digital fabrication and material science, the team created an
amazing display
which reflects on the beauty and tradition of the Japanese art but
delivers its aesthetics in a modern and current practice. The
digital Origami exhibition is a progressive display of re inventing
ancient traditions in digital parameters.
Using 3500 recycled cardboard molecules, University of Technology
design students, under the guidance of lecturer Chris
Bosse, examined various aspects of architectural foundations
through small elements of design.
The result is a cool installation which examines space and
the elements of design including arches, walls tunnels and traditional structures. The room full of Geometric paper
shapes, placed on top of one another and adhered to ceilings and
walls are brilliantly illuminated by expressive neon lighting
which further emphasizes the angular structure of the work itself.
Bosse cites the aim of the project as " testing the fitness of a
particular module, copied from nature, to generate architectural space,
with the assumption that the intelligence of the smallest unit
dictates the intelligence of the overall system. By Andy G. See also WALL ART
