Esquisse 3

I created pieces that are based on a Rosebud.
The 3 structure were created using Fibonacci's theory. Each measurement that i placed went in order from 20mm - 30mm -50mm - 80mm - 50mm -30mm. One being a made from two singular pieces of card that are placed as a cross. The second having circular plates of their respective dimensions intersecting with the respective marks on the card & lastly a piece that was totally abstracted using circular plates each being a different size & placed in order one after the other.

Esquisse 2




This card structure was created by using 18 (120X100) cross hatched slits.
1 (100x100) continuous piece to create the bounding box, held together using a tab.
16 (100X70) individual cards that were rolled & placed in the 4 corners & middle to gain support.

It was constructed using 320gsm card.

The main and only problem i came across was the warping of the card. This occurred because all cross hatch slits were approx. 10mm apart, give or take 1mm from each slits and it accumulates.

Apart from this there was no major concern. It held the required 100kgs with very minimal compression.

Origami - Akira Yoshizawa

During research I found a famous Origami artist, Akira Yoshizawa, passed away now, but in the day knew exactly what he was doing with paper. The originality of his pieces is ridiculous. Does well.

Some links for his work:

Esquisse 1

All of the above were created using the 100x100x100 template. Incorporating tabs in various spots, i was able to connect each side. I came across the most difficulty when creating the prism as some of my tabs came loose unlike the other 2 models.
