Folded Shell Structure by Liane Ee

Making Sheet Architecture 
Folding turns flat sheet into doubly curved shell
Folding adds structural stiffness to a surface and can be a potential construction system for large span structures with complex geometry. 
Material
 ALUCOBOND®
Alucobond, invented in the 1970s  and used mainly for facades, can be CNC milled using angled drill bits, which allows the material to be folded. Alucobond sheets are available in 2,4 and 6mm thickness and can be folded and unfolded up to 8 times. The design pushes the possibility for this material to be used as structure, by making folds in the sheet, so as to produce a very thin-shell structure with a complex form but easily assembled and transported.

    The geometry printables below can be used for a variety of purposes and don’t come with questions or answers like a regular worksheet. The quadrilaterals set can be used for a number of activities that involve classifying and recognizing quadrilaterals or for finding the properties of quadrilaterals (e.g. that the interior angles add up to 360 degrees). The tangram printables are useful in tangram activities. There are several options available for the tangram printables depending on your printer, and each option includes a large version and smaller versions. If you know someone with a suitable saw, you can use the tangram printable as a template on material such as quarter inch plywood; then simply sand and paint the pieces.
