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) Cylinders which are formed by a series of parallel lines form a cicular base. Cones consists of all lines connect to the vertex point and profile curve. Tangent surfaces of space curves, which is a surface that can be flattened onto a plane without distortion.
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 Any develpable surfaces can be matched into the plan without skeching or tearing, for example the British designer Tony wills, who attches two unstrechable matral-paper toghether.

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 is a generative medium that comes with its own host of restraints and possibilities; it has protenbtial the gap between representation and building, affording a hypothetically seamless connestion between design and making.
Question 2: Suggest two reasons why folding is used extensively in the formal expression of building design? (Maximum 100 words) Folders are introdeced into planer materials to help them gain stiffness and rigidity, can span distance, and can often be self-surpporting. Folding is mterically conmmercial, visully appealing and effective at multiple scales.

EXPLORING 3D PANELLING
The layout of the panelling is spiral, from outer to inside, the height of the units is taller and taller, and reach the highest point right in the middle.

all height are different, that each one has a littile length differnce with each other.
