Folding System

Shelving, Partition, Skin

The materials besides books could be tension cables and clips.

The books interlock and form a strong folding connection. The Edge of each book acts as a hinge and gives the system a dynamic characteristic.
The uses can be skin for the structure, shelving, and internal partitions.

The folding system changes in size when interaction with end users is happening. The system extends when books are added and shrinks when books are removed.

The system also provides an interactive space with the surrounding as the skin opens and closes.

The idea was inspired from the mosaic panels , in which the outcome of the drawing changes with the alternation of the pieces . In this case the unit is a combination of three books , packed or folded together to form a triangular shape tile . This kind of tile or piece could be assembled vertically , horizontally , or in a circular like shape to establish different forms and functions  . It can act as a wall , a buttress , a column and even a dome like cover .

 

Accordion – Book Technique | 

By hinging series of books together , we will be getting a strip of accordion-like shape . This kind of  shape is similar to an accordion-door , which can through certain hinges change its size and shape .

Stitching Up Books

Stitching up Books

Creating a thin wall by shuffling the pages of books partly into each other and them attached to each other in row as show in the image, the idea is to create a latticed screen with all the covers and some pages of the books open and could have highlighted paras for people to read in all the different books making the screen a very interactive wall, and also there is a play of light and shade in the interior part that gives an expression of, ” how books are lighting people’s minds”.

structural book bay

By rdmckaye | Published: October 29, 2013

Grid 1- the chain below is formed through folding the pages of 2 or more books into each other, with the spines facing outward. when this connection is used to form different geometries, the combinations can be compressed together as a system into various arcs, vaults and double-curve modules. the malleability of the interlocked pages within the books allow the form to follow a curve, while the spines of each book act in compression to provide rigidity. we see this system as a jumping off point for developing an interlocking gridshell system or the creation of a woven surface where all members are acting in compression.

The Book Tower

By wenshanfoo | Published: October 29, 2013
The idea of our design is to build a tower consisting of columns and mezzanines of books, using strong joints that can give us the stability and support a lot of weight, in this case, books, which are accommodated in a simple way so that they can be taken out from the tower easily. The structural idea is to build a ‘book bridge’ between two vertical structures.

One side of the tower is covered by a screen of books, held together using the friction of interlocking pages, also creating an illusion of ‘floating books’.
