Gehry And Curved Surfaces models should reflect the nature of the final materials used in construction the dominant material in construction is sheet metal; most models are made of paper surfaces which act like metal surfaces. fast way of modeling and reflecting on ideas
Design Process system to making paper models intern create shapes and surface the designers (Frank, Craig, Edwin) goals are to view, evaluate and present desires for the next iteration
Digitally Playing with Paper 1 playing with shapes and volumes 2 surface models are scaleable 3 process is fast surface models only
Surface Model Physical Model 1 geometric shapes simple or complex 2 separate surfaces 3 cut sheet 4 cut the flattened shapes from sheet material 5 - glue
