It's great to see "origami-inspired" buildings, but here's my reaction to 
nearly all of the designs: Fussy!  The blurb that appears before the images 
says, "Architects love origami because it achieves what buildings rarely do: 
frame space through extreme economy of means."  I don't see economy of means at 
all, but rather folded planes used purely as a form of expression.  Only the 
least "origami-like" one of them all, the one called Origami House in 
Barcelona, looks clean and purposeful from the photo.  I don't have a problem 
with expressionistic architecture, but it has to be coherent and beautiful and 
not pretend to be functionally-driven when it's not.

I'm appreciative to Patsy for sending along both web links.  I'm currently 
preparing a lecture for the local American Institute of Architects chapter on 
my origami and architectural designs and how they have inspired and learned 
from each other.  These images certainly provide food for thought.

Re: [Origami] help with creator

HI,

Kathy Stevick asked about the name of the creator and of the model in this
video that's in Spanish: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pW-b1USL3sc

Kathy, from what I could tell it looks like he doesn't mention either of
them in the video. The person behind the video is Javier Caboblanco, who's
an Spanish creator. Although I really don't know, I think he's the creator
of the model and he decided no to give if it a name; other than "a ball or
kusudama", whish is how he refers to the model in the video.

Cheers!


PD: Thank you all of you for your help regarding known experts in
instructional videos. I got to see a lot of really cool instructional
videos I didn't know of =D

I know that similar one is something of Tomoko Fuse published in the spiral 
book I think. The actual model you're looking for I don't know, but I recommend 
contacting that blog or Yami (as stated in the title of the video). Best

[Origami] Model name and creator

2013-11-01 Thread Carson Box
Hello, all!

I was wondering if anyone might know the information about this model.
Taught at PCOC 2013.

Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=tjU_Ys75y0Y

Photos: https://havepaperwilltravel.shutterfly.com/8718#8495
https://havepaperwilltravel.shutterfly.com/8718#8482
https://havepaperwilltravel.shutterfly.com/8718#8234

Also, are there any other collapsing action models like this?
I believe this is similar:
https://havepaperwilltravel.shutterfly.com/8718#8331

To finish, if anyone knows either of those models, or others, would anyone
be kind enough to help me fold them?

Thanks, guys!

Hello,

Thought some on this list may be interested in seeing some
origami-inspired buildings:

http://architizer.com/blog/folding-architecture-top-10-origami-inspired-buildings/

Here is a link on the relaunch of the architizer site along with
information about the site (as well as mixed reactions in the comments
section):

http://techcrunch.com/2013/07/28/architizer-relaunches-to-connect-architects-with-other-architects-and-brands-and-clients-too/

I'm not in the field, so perhaps some architects on this list may wish
to weigh in on the pros and cons of this website? In the meantime, I'm
just enjoying the buildings profiled.
