Abstract

Origami is a “bottom-up” method for surface modeling which contributes to more possibility for the exploration of architectural forms. In this paper, we investigate the geometrical properties of rigid folding and Miura-ori pattern. The geometrical rules in the folding process of several variations of Miura-ori are obtained. Additionally, we present three new variations and describe the folding process in a 3D coordinate system which provides more possibilities for origami surface generation. The folding process is simulated by describing the path of the vertex. This method explores a unified approach to 3D folding model simulation in Rhinoceros/Grasshopper.
