The thesis is about productional mechanism of space formation.
'Form' exists as a result of production . To formulate a productive process is to discover the 'inner order' of the forms to be produced .
Folding is the subject matter under study .
This thesis consists of four parts:
1.The view and the idea :
Arguments concern about the theoretical position regarding space and form-making .
2.Order embedded :
To discover the inner rulers of Folding as a mechanism for spatial production .
3.Exploration :
By exercising the production rules to examine the space-formation potentials of Folding methodology .
4.Demonstration:
By a design case to present the characters of the design method.
To conclude , this study has some major discoveries as follows:
1. Folding methodology is a 'data-driven' type of space production system.
The three major production mechanisms are cutting ,folding and unfolding.Cutting makes edges; edges adds the potential of folding; folding creates fold-lines, and unfolding makes spaces and forms .
2.The folding line ended by an edge or another folding line .Therefore , there are two basic forms of Folding : 'one fold-line'folding and 'four-fold lines' folding .
3.By cutting / folding / and unfolding , we can create three spatial prototypes . The shape of edges which made by cutting and the combination of cutting lines will create the dynamical interactions between spatial prototypes .
4.These three prototypes of space , developed through constraints of material characteristics creating exchanges of the solid and the volid , following with the symmetrical beauty due to its dimentional correspondence , and with the flowing structure by its material continuity,are the formal fundamentals of the Folding design methodology.
