| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣科技大學 === 建築系 === 98 === Nowadays, buildings are no longer like boxes , lots of them are built by freeform. It makes buildings more varied. Because each component of freeform surface is not the same, we must cost much money and used higher technology to build it. This study is tried to find another possibility of making freeform surface. We consider that the accordion fold of the origami is a feasible way. It can be used the single size and material to form varied surface through appropriate design and arrangement.
First, we review the literature and make models to research the relationship between the angle and curvature of the accordion fold. Next, we refer to past design cases to analyze the type and material which the accordion fold be used in building and interior design. Then, we test to make models which are modular and considered the influence of the thickness, weight and flexibility. We avoid the most vulnerable point of each component, and use a variety of media and different joint methods to transform folding paper into foldable plate. After that, we design some cases to explore all possible of building and interior design.
Finally, we review the development, restrictive, and the future vision of the accordion fold. The accordion fold has unitary、foldable、 replaceable and pre-fabricatable characteristic. It will be an economical and efficient freeform surface structure, if it be used in building and interior design. However, there are still some issues that we need to overcome, such as outdoor environmental factors, the ideal hinge is not currently developed and the module will have joint problems ... ... and so on. But the abundance、 variety and feasibility of the accordion fold used in building and interior design still has unlimited potential.
