Temporary Space Idea's and Thoughts.

Alot of Lucy's work has alot of method and practice involved such as just the simple discipline of folding paper. When I went over that thought I initially came up with the idea of paper folding and then went onto look at the japanese style of Origami.

"Origami: is the traditional Japanese folk art of paper folding, which started in the 17th century AD and was popularized in the mid-1900s. It has since then evolved into a modern art form. The goal of this art is to transform a flat sheet of material into a finished sculpture through folding and sculpting techniques, and as such the use of cuts or glue are not considered to be origami."

 This is one of my favourite pieces by Lucy Schofield due to it's simplistic shape and form. However beautifully clean and sharp all the edges and paper maybe, the content of the book is disturbing.

This is piece is named Road Kill.

This is the piece that made me decide to look into Origami and paper folding.

This is more of a modern paper folding piece, the U.S dollar note has been made into a short leaved shirt and tie. 

 This is a really quick walk through guide that you can find on the internet in making simple Origami shapes and characters depending on you're skill level.

These are more complicated shapes and foldings. This one is a sea horse. The ruffles and foldings is extremly advanced but the lighting and texture of the paper is very aesthetically appealing.

After watching a few clips, I decided that my first set of maquettes and models will be out of paper simply because of how easy and versatile paper is and it will tie in nicely as the media the client Lucy works in. 




Origami and Architecture


I decided to look at Origami in architecture and stumbled across this design.

That iconography accounts for the smooth meandering planes in the longitudinal section. On a lower scale there is also another iconography apparent that is a result of the design of the transversal section.

The Fold of the French philosophers Gilles Deleuze and Felix Gauttari that inspired the design of the building, finds a very literal iconography in folded paper: origami. Foreign Office has designed the structure of the building by making triangulated steel-plated portals.

The paper iconography is ironic since the architects had won the competition for the Terminal with a design that featured an impossible-to-make waved steel construction that was copy-paste from corrugated cardboard. The folded paper artwork that is here shown is from the British artist Richard Sweeney.




Perhaps for a temporary space such as the exhibition or installation would be interesting if installation of exhibition itself was moving or rotating, or can be moved to pre-designated places like guide folds of a Origami design.
