BRIEF: Using paper, explore a building skin design that is self-supporting and is reflective of the iconic New Zealand fashion house Zambesi
The photographs below are of explorative ideas, looking at the skin of the building as a type of Origami.
Paper in a variety of weight, colour and texture was folded, bent and cut to develop forms which were inspired by the 2007 winter collection by Zambesi, whom used silvers, bold forms, pleats and straight cuts.
No scale was resolved at this stage in the design, but by placing the forms inside of a blank canvas with no sense of scale, the paper sculptures were able to be interpreted in to many gradients of size.
