Spinal Repetition: Design Through Folding

Inspired by the spine, this structure utilizes key aspects involved in the spinal makeup. When abstracted, both the spine and this structure have the following characteristic: repetition, linear lines, direction, balance, unity, and units making up the whole. I began this process of design by making origami modules and experimenting with how they connected. This structure was designed to be in a park setting made of glass. The spine is extremely important to the human body, but it cant be seen from the outside. The translucency of the glass gives off a similar vibe and wouldn't take away from the nature of the park.
