Abstract

This research aims to understand the potential of origami creative process through experimental exploration and by analyzing some projects developed in different areas. Josef Albers and Ron Resch’s academic careers and methods on the practice of folding are the main focus in this study. Within the applied design, an analysis is conducted on the projects Origami Heart Stent, Ori-Revo and Evolution Door.
