Why Paper?

• Most commonly used material for any type of
  presentation work
• Wide variety of affordances (bending quality,
  stiffness, foldable, etc.)
• Wide variety of physical properties (types,
  color, texture, etc.)
• Reusable, Recyclable
• Cheap and widely available

4
Paper Models

• Modeling Procedures
• Transfer
• Cut
• Fold
• Assemble
• Finish

5
Transferring

• Determine Size and Scale of Model
• Maximize model usage per paper sheet
• Level of detail in model
• Transfer Drawings to Paper Materials
• Redraw drawing on material
• Dot markings and trace onto material
• Print out and paste with glue or tape
• Direct print on material
• Make cuts, scores, voids visible on drawing

Cutting

• Organize transferred drawings on sheet of paper
• Simplify Minimize Cuts (e.g., joint edges)
• Maximize Usage, Minimize Waste of Material
• Utilize cutting tool correctly and safely
• Multiple trial cuts
• Hold cutter _at_ a 45 degree angle
• Always use a metal ruler

Shape Cuts

• Plane Cuts (straight, angled, curved cuts)
• Floors (slabs, plazas)
• Steps (stairs)
• Walls (façade, partitions)
• Voids (windows, doors, openings, atriums)
• Roofing (flat, angled, gable, hip, etc.)
• Contours/ Topography (sloped plateau)
• Element Cuts
• Exterior ornaments (fins, crown, pediment)
• Moldings (mullions, frames)
• Trees (profiles, bushes)

11
Folds

• Structural Folds
• Triangulate Shape (for compression)
• Straight Edge (I, T, L sections for rigidity)
• Assembly Folds
• Slot and tongue (tabs)
• Interlocking systems (boxes)
• Spatial Folds
• Curvature folds (curved planes)
• Continue material (less cuts, attachments)
• Origamic Architecture (interplay btwn solid and
  void)

Assembly

• Glue/ Adhere
• Glue from bottom up
• Attach walls to floor (base) plate
• Ceiling/ Roof to walls
• Glue separate components (complex buildings,
  large models)
• Latex Glue for Paper (ideal, but slow)
• Adhesive Tape (two-sided tape)
• Insert/ Interlock
• Align joints, slots
• Fold Over/ Wrap Around
• Overlapping façades
• Support
• Fasteners (tape, rubber bands, third hand, etc.)
• Braces (internal/ external structural bracing)
