Abstract

Sofia Vyzoviti explores the issue of paper folding as a spatial, structural and organizational diagram. In a foremost visual way the volume shows many folding techniques and folding algorithms which can be used in the design process.

Abstract

Soft Shells is a follow-up title to Sophia Vyzoviti’s bestselling books, Folding Architecture and Supersurfaces. Where Folding Architecture explored folding as a design method in architecture, and Supersurfaces showed experiments in a fusion design field between product design, fashion and architecture, the new Soft Shells investigates textile as a retro-novel architectural device which is porous and deployable. The book is lavishly illustrated with form experiments and has three essays that provide the reader with a state-of-the-art context for the architectural discourse on formgenerative surface.

Abstract

This booklet with the format of a pocket diary, makes clear how the new technique of folding can be applied not only in architecture, but also to industrial, product or textile manufacture. Vyzoviti uses paper as empirical model; she investigates and describes systematically how flat paper is transformed into volumes when creating prototypes. The research in this second book goes a step further using more durable materials than paper but with similar qualities. Supersurfaces is full of hand-folded, twisted, wound and woven forms. This 'other' manner of design is a 'low tech - high concept' morphogenetic process, which forms a welcome addition to common design methods with advanced computer programmes.
