Ă propos de ce livre
Many designers use folding techniques in their work to make three-dimensional forms from two-dimensional sheets of fabric, cardboard, plastic, metal, and many other materials. This unique book explains the key techniques of folding, such as pleated surfaces, curved folding, and crumpling. It has applications for architects, product designers, and jewelry and fashion designersAn elegant, practical handbook, Folding for Designers explains over 70 techniques explained with clear step-by-step drawings, crease pattern drawings, and specially commissioned photography. All crease pattern drawings are available to view and download from the Laurence King website.

Product Design1.1.1 Linear Divisions into sixteenths
1. Basic Concepts
Basics are basics. What was basic yesterday will be basic tomorrow. Basics are the constants, the unchanging foundations upon which creative work can be built.
This chapter explains the basics of folding paper. The general concepts it introduces are the most important and the most useful in the book. Time spent learning them will be well rewarded when you progress to later chapters and when you create your own folded designs. If you are new to folding, or have only limited experience, you are encouraged to spend quality time with this chapter. However, do not just look at its contents â fold them!
Basic concepts are not only useful, but are also very adaptable. This is because they are necessarily generic and can thus be modified in an infinite number of ways. By contrast, ideas for folding which are more specific, are less adaptable. So, somewhat paradoxically, this is perhaps the bookâs least showy chapter, but it also offers the most creativity. âBasicâ should not be mistaken for âuncreativeâ.
1.1. Dividing the Paper
Dividing paper into exactly equal lengths or angles enables many other techniques to be performed. The position of the folds can be marked with a ruler and pencil, but it is much quicker and much more accurate to make them by hand, dividing the paper into halves, then quarters, then eighthsâŠand so on, using a simple and precise sequence of folds. It is the hand-made method that is explained here.
There is nothing inherently special about the sixteenths, thirty-seconds or sixty-fourths shown in this section, other than that they divide the paper many times and are easy divisions to explain. In your own work, it may be that you need to divide the paper into tenths, twenty-sixths, fifty-fourths, or whatever, in which case it is better to divide it into 16, 32 or 64 and then trim off the excess. Do not be a slave to the divisions shown here.
