Continuing the lineage of research on Curved Folding, the AA Visiting School Bangalore series titled HyperThreads explored the subject over an intense 10-day workshop in 2012. Some very cool student projects, a lot of good energy, and finally two super-nice folded aluminium sculptures.

Algorithmic method to setup a pipeline with which we could design.
Process video: Convex polygons to developable surfaces.
Design to Production: 15 sheets of aluminium, 3 hours of laser cutting.
Stability: Check.
1am in the studio, and we begin assembly.
Hand foldability: Check.
Hand-folded panels. Simple assembly tools: spanners and screw-drivers.
The first piece coming together.
The tricky last bits: fitting the last screws.
Finished pieces.
Paper models | Metal cousins.
Curvature continuity: Check.
More eye-candy :)
