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 surface are cylinders, cones and tangent surfaces of space curves.

All three of these developable surfaces are special ruled surfaces because a tangent plane is always tangent to the surface along an entire ruling, and not just in a single point. These developable surface contain only parabolic surface points or flat points.

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 in architectural geometry as it enables spaces such as Huyghe + Le Cobusier Puppet Theatre to be created. Without the understanding of developable surfaces, we would not be able to create such organic shapes as you would run into the problem of having to try an ‘stretch� a material to get the desired form.

The Puppet Theatre as mentioned above uses developable surfaces to create a form which is organic an reflects the architects inspiration and vision of how people use the space and how it interacts with the outside environment. It has enabled the architect to produce a space using interlocking diamond panels which do not require any structural supports as they interlock and support each other.

WEEK 7 READING: DIGITAL FABRICATION

Question 1: What is digital fabrication and how does it change the understanding of two dimensional representation? (Maximum 100 words) Digital fabrication is the process of using digital data to control the fabrication process. This can be used to prodece models or prototypes of a building as well a cut parts using computer driven machine tools. All of this is done with the aid of computer aided design/ modeling.

Digital fabrication changes the understanding of two dimentional representation as it enables ease in prototyping and encourages further design iteration due to the simplicity of model creation. By being able to create a 3Dobject from a 2D representation you can then further develop and grasp the design.

Question 2: Suggest two reasons why folding is used extensively in the formal expression of building design?

(Maximum 100 words) Two reasons why folding is used extensively in the formal expression of building design, are that folding is a natural form and folding creates new interesting spaces which vary dependent on how the material is folded.

Foling of a material can be one without the need for further addition of the same or other materials. This gives it a natural feel as the form created is still the original material simply re-imagined. Folding also enables the creation of interesting space which changes based on how a material is folded. This enables designers to develop creative expressions of a buildings design.
