Abstract

"Unfolding” is a pavilion comprised of six lightweight structures designed for the London Design Biennale 2021. “UnFolding” examines the potential for using engineered timber with digital tools to produce flexible interiors. The pavilion is folded through kerfing methods into fractal-based structures. Extensive research, testing, and sample fabrication were accomplished for the project to acquire optimal flexibility of different timber members through kerf patterns.
