2 Paper Models

The repetition of the square in seemingly random locations:

The Distortion of the ordinary to create the extraordinary:


This paper model is based around the concept of an underlying or hidden complexity to a structure. It relates to the various sketches that SANAA is known for. From the first glance, the sketches do not seem all that special, however, under closer inspection, they have various complexities that are hidden through the medium in which they are presented. I represented these complexities as strange patterns created through overlapping folds in the paper, appearing only when a light is shown from behind as distortions in the plain paper face. These relate to the iconic features of SANAA's architecture, where they take ordinary shapes and forms, and distort them into something extraordinary.
