Abstract
Folding architecture, inspired by the art of origami, utilizes precise folding principles and geometric accuracy that are fundamental to the origami technique. Folding architecture has employed many folding techniques that have significantly influenced interior design and furniture in recent years, leading to functional and creative solutions in interior spaces. It enables the transformation of two-dimensional shapes into three-dimensional forms, as well as the conversion of flat or planar materials into volumetric objects. Folding has the ability to define the structure of geometric shapes, allowing for the creation of innovative structures that can adapt to the functional or environmental conditions of a space. Thanks to the ability to fold and modify, designs can be easily adjusted and adapted to meet different requirements, enhancing flexibility and optimal use of available spaces. The applications of folding architecture extend from commercial and residential spaces to theaters and exhibitions, enhancing creative and operational possibilities in modern architectural design. Perhaps the most distinctive feature of folding is the continuity of space, surface, and form it creates, leading to flexibility that differs from most other methods of use. Folding should not only be understood as a representational approach that provides a direct, dynamic, and continuous relationship between design elements, but also as a generative method that holds value for the designer. With the expansion of paper folding techniques to include the creation of larger, thicker, and more robust models, the design process has relied on this approach to achieve the values of creativity in interior design inspired by folding techniques. The focus has also been on handling interior design elements dynamically, allowing for the resolution of interior design challenges inspired by the art of folding from a global perspective that aligns with contemporary thought principles.
