FORM 1 MATERIAL : PLASTIC BOTTLE, PACKING FOAM OPERATIVE TERM : SLICE, CUT, FILL, INSERT In this study, a plastic bottle has been sliced along a diagonal axis, which acts as a primary object. A rectangular piece of packing foam (secondary object) has been inserted into the slit which causes a spatial offset between the two parts of the primary object. A designed cut has been made along the foam and made to create an arched form, symbolic of a gateway. The basic form created using slice, intersect, cut fill has been further explored by using different configurations of openings.

FORM 2 MATERIAL : PLASTIC BOTTLE, HANDMADE PAPER OPERATIVE TERM : INTERSECT, COMPRESS, EXPAND
In this study, a part of a plastic bottle has been used, which acts as the primary object. Handmade paper(secondary object) has been explored using fold and refold. Compress and expand principles are used while inserting the paper into the bottle using slits and openings. These operations are used to create three different configurations.

FORM FINDING MATERIAL : JUICEBOX | CUPCAKE LINER OPERATIVE TERM : CUT | OPEN | TWIST | EMBED
FORM (noun)
- The visible shape or configuration of something. - A particular way in which a thing exists or appears; a manifestation.
In this study, a juice box has been used as the primary object representing rigidity while cupcake liners have been used as the secondary object representing an a softer, more adaptable form. The juice box has been sliced along a diagonal axis and then twisted by 180 degrees to create an ovalesque opening. The liners have then been embedded into the the opening while it also takes the shape. the same has been applied to a 45 degree cut at the top of the box. In the process of form finding, the corrugated folds and the homogeneity of the form of the cupcake liners have been interpreted as a facade element which leads us to a deeper understanding of building envelopes and its functions.

PLEATS IN DESIGN FORM : CIRCULAR | PLEATED | TAPERED | HOMOGENOUS COMPUTATION : DIAMETER | NO. OF PLEATS A cupcake liner is formed out of a single piece of circular foil or paper. The pleats allow it to be folded into its shape with a slightly larger diameter at the top as compared to the base. It is made by folding the parchment paper so that there are no cuts or glued pieces of paper. This helps prevent any chace of air gaps, which facilitates even baking.

PLANAR PLEATS PLANAR ELEMENTS | DEPTH OF FOLD | SPACING | COUNT | SCALE | ANGULAR Taking inspiration from the concept of pleats and folds as seen in fashion or product design, this catalog explores the concept of pleated facades and its variations. Iterations of pleats have been classified based on some operative key words that best describe their formal properties. The form of a building envelope directly effects building performance and sustainability. Pleats as a concept are being explored as a building element in this catalog. The facets of a pleated facade like folds, spacing, depth as well as rigidity and movement are being analysed with a focus on performance.

CUBIC PLEATS
M.S. ARCH - WOODBURY UNIVERSITY
ITERATIONS | PLEATED FACADES | FORM | ANALYSIS| COMFORT | SUSTAINABILITY Various iterations of pleats have been analysed on the basis of orientation, sunpath, maximum daylight hours and minimum radiation received annually. The climate data for downtown Los Angeles has been used as a default for all the iterations. A building envelope in Los angeles is ideally required to minimize the intense heat radiation in summer, which will reduce the energy load on the building, while maximizing the number of daylight hours in winter, when days are shorter. This concept for optimal thermal comfort with minimum use of airconditioning or heating, has been applied to the analysis of the pleated cubes below.

WORLD - CLIMATE ZONES In order to design buildings which are energy efficient and sustainable, it is imperative to understand the macroclimate as well as the microclimate of a site. The study of pleated facades and its response to the natural surrounding led to testing the iterations in different climates across the globe and study their responses. For this reason, 4 cities have been selected from different climate zones which possess vastly diverse macro and micro climate, culture and geographical characteristics. Mumbai (Tropical Zone) is the warmest city, equable weather with slight difference between summer and winter temperature. Abu Dhabi (Subtropical zone) is evetremely hot and dry with a larger difference between summer and winter temperatures. San Francisco (Temperate Zone) has warm summers and cool winters, while Oslo (Subpolar Zone) is extremely cold throughout the year.

During winters, the suns rays are slanted slightly at a lower angle. This is why it is very hot through the day in summers making it imperative to block the heat from entering the interiors of the building.

In Mumbai, the position of the sun is high throughout the year and is well overhead in summers. The angle of the suns rays are high for most of the year, which is why horizontal overhangs and lightshelves are highly effective in blocking direct solar radiation during summers. The sun angle in winters is slightly lower, therefore the width of teh overhang can be decided depending on sun angles. This would allow suns rays to come through during winters while preventing it from entering during summer, ensuring cooler interior spaces.

The simulations show that this form is effective in maximising daylight but it also allows maximum radiation to come through. The surface area of the facade also increases in this case. This form is ideal for cold climates where heating is of high priority as it would greatly reduce heating loads on the energy requirements of the building.

In the northern hemisphere the position of the sun changes from east to west in the southern direction. The incident solar angle at a place can be calculated by determining the azimuth and altitude angles at that place. The range varies between the angle on the hottest day and the coldest day of the year. Solar angles at noon : Winter solstice (21st December): 6.59° Summer solstice (21st June): 53.59° Spring equinox (23rd March): 30.09° Summer equinox (23rd September) : 30.09° In oslo, the sun angle is very low in winter, which is why it receives only few hours of sunlight and radiation during winter season.
