This exercise was about folding single sheets of paper to shapes inspired by the chosen architect. I have chosen to work with Ruy Othake and his design Hotel Unique in Sao Paulo. I chose to view the hotel from a spatial point of view. The hotel, seen in the picture below, with its moon shape has some clear curving shapes. I chose to try and interpret those shapes by folding the paper as to form an overall curving shape, with some "holes" to resemble windows. Ideally those would have been round but that was quite hard to do. Insted I made them squared but twisted 90 degrees.
Model #1 - Abstract intepretation
Model #2 - Inspired by patterns
Second model was inspired by Ruy Othakes use of wave-like shapes e.g. as used in the Villa Residencia, seen on the picture below.
Model #3 - Free model
I did not have any scissor or tape so it did not really make a difference for me - except I was now able to use more sheets of paper. I wanted to make something that resembled Ruy Othakes high-rise buildings but it was to make the paper stick together. The idea was to place some curved shapes along the facade of the tower.
In conclusion, I actually found it better to work just one single sheet of paper to, as said in the tutorial, make one think closer about the production method.
