Digital Origami
University of Technology, Sydney/Chris Bosse, 2007
The aim of this project was to test the fitness of a
particular module, copied from nature, to generate
architectural space, operating from the assumption
that the intelligence of the smallest unit dictates the
intelligence of the overall system.
Ecosystems such as
reefs act as a metaphor for an architecture whereby
the individual components interact in symbiosis to
create an environment. In urban terms, the smallest
homes—the spaces they create, the energy they use,
the heat and moisture they absorb—multiply into
a bigger organizational system, whose sustainability
depends on their intelligence.
From thirty-five hundred recycled cardboard molecules of only two different shapes, Digital Origami reinterprets the traditional concept of space.
