Group Mauro and Cosmos / Digital model

Below is our first approach to a digital model. To reach this aim we follow the next steps:  

1.representation of deformation on physical model in a 3D surface.  

2.projection of slitting lines.  

3.representing slit thickness with lines.  

4.extrusion of lines along slitting lines.

Group Mauro and Cosmos / Combination of angles

This stage involves combining the 3 slit angles to create our model.

Group Cosmos and Mauro - Slitting experiments

Continuing with the idea of motion, we made a serie of experimentations to explore this condition on our model. In these series we variated the angle and density of slitting made on paper; after that we pushed the two ends towards each other to see how they behave. We made the same kind of experiment also with other materials.

Mauro, Cosmos, SLITTING, 2nd Experimentation, Paper

We started our process of experimentation creating patterns of cuts on a standard size of paper and observing how they behave when subjected to pushing and stretching. Then we decide to create a model which didn´t need to be manipulated but was capable of rendering its own surface and form. To achieve this, we made two actions: fold and cut. After further experiments, we picked the model which presented some qualities of a surface in motion with the aim of exploiting this quality further in a more rigorous fashion.
