First Project: Folded Structure

Caterpillar Tunnel

From the outside the tunnel has a patterning and shape resembling that of a caterpillar, hence the name. It is meant as a public space to escape the rain or the business of the city. It is based of the the first and second bristol board folding tests, found here. It has slit two rows of triangles and angled them upwards to allow in light. From the inside, the right side of triangles will always appear lit up while the other side appears dim as an effect of the directions of the flaps. The walls will be unique in a geometric yet organic feeling way as it has a quality like a cave as well as that of ornate fractal designs. It is roughly three times as tall as a person and its meant as a calm space.
