Esquisse 2_Understanding Form

Pyramid given size: 100 x 100 x100mm.
Study of different folding techniques and measurement calculation:




























As the second task sets challenge on creating a more complex geometry-the pyramid, I tried a few experiments before working on the actual model.


















This experiment gave me more understanding on every accurate calculated element to form the pyramid as a whole, from the relation of size in each triangle to every cut-away shape. At last, outcome achieved from what I've learned:

Esquisse 1: Understanding Material

Starting out: study of material and cutting/folding types























The outcome after some experiments:



























































It was a little difficult to achieve the 45-degree-angle cut but I was eventually happy with the outcome after a few trials.
