WEEK 6 READING: SURFACES THAT CAN BE BUILT FROM PAPER IN ARCHITECTURAL GEOMETRY Question 1: What are the three elementary types of developable surfaces? Provide a brief description.

(Maximum 100 words) The three elementary types of developable surfaces would be cylinders, tanger surfaces and cones.

Cylinder or Cylindrical surfaces can be formed by the extrusion of a curve in a certain direction. A method that cones obey was called ‘central extrusion, in which edges of the cone would face and connect to a specific vertex point. Tangent Surfaces of space curves were formed by using the tangent lines that exist on a 3D curved Surface.

Question 2: Why is the understanding of developable surface critical in the understanding of architectural geometry? Choose one precedent from Research/Precedents tab on LMS as an example for your discussion. (Maximum 100 words) The understanding of developable surface is critical because architect needs to know which geometry is developable or not, as the term developable would dictates the limits of shape in which a certain building can have. Simple geometrical shapes are mostly developable and it can be used in many ways without having a great deal of complexity. The case of the Cloud Canopy would be a perfect example, as it uses hexagons and honeycomb lattice in uniform, that easy glass panelling on the construction process.

WEEK 7 READING: DIGITAL FABRICATION Complete your reading before attempting these questions:

Question 1: What is digital fabrication and how does it change the understanding of two dimensional representation? (Maximum 100 words) Digital Fabrication generally can be described as creating a design using the digital technologies or computation. Somehow, it altered our perspective on creating our design, because the digital technologies ease all of the steps and processes of designing, testing, and model making into one process.

Therefore, it changes the understanding of two dimensional representation as digital fabrication creates numerous extra ways in which two dimensional representation can be made. The digital technologies has extend our creativity in creating two dimensional representation

Question 2: Suggest two reasons why folding is used extensively in the formal expression of building design? (Maximum 100 words) Folding is essential in creating architectural representation, especially building. Aside from that, folding is also used for many different reasons in many different ways, in which it enables us to do something on two dimensional representation, and create a new form of representation. As most building is geometrical in shape, therefore to create a representation of building, folding is essential. Furthermore, folding can express edges of a shape, in which it is necessary to express perspective from a point of view.
