- starting points - applying paper folding to sheet metal, development of a module purely from folded sheets
- development - introduction to SIP (structural insulated panel) construction, investigation of the spaces created through SIP construction
- critique - conclusion that SIPs created very regular, homogenous spaces, and that there was room to start to mutate the panels in order to create more interesting spaces
- solutions - design of panels that "fold" down to meet the ground, that allow you to slip through a wall instead of punching an opening into it, and that thicken a wall to the extent that one is able to occupy a space within the wall
- testing - "folded" panel shown in karamba analysis to be able to withstand vertical loads of up to 12 kN and lateral loads of up to 4 kN - goal is to create a system that produces new space but retains the same structural efficiency as the traditional SIP system
- continuation - while i experimented with the use of corrugated metal inside the panel to measure structural stability, traditional SIPs have a foam core and a structural skin - how would a foam core change the behavior of the panel? would it possibly be more efficient and better suited to irregular shapes?
