Abstract

The design starts with the concept of enhancing the structural strength of paper by creating creases. Karamba calculates the principal stresses on the roof's surface to determine where the creases should be placed. The roof is then folded a second time to further enhance its structural integrity.  



Roof Surface to Cover the Functional Space


1st Folding based on Principle Stress


2nd Folding based on Principle Stress


Final Result
