The subject matter proposes a multidimensional exploration into the intersections of form generation, material exploration, parametric design, and the traditional form of creased folding. Through a series of iterative design processes, origami techniques are investigated for their potential to inspire novel form-finding and material manipulation approaches. This study focuses on the relationship between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary computer aided designs, which opens up new design possibilities and fabrication methodologies. The ancient technique of creased folding, has developed fascination for its ability to transform a flat sheet of material into intricate three-dimensional structures. Various paper manipulation techniques which form a valley and mountain like structure are explored within the context of algorithmic design frameworks using a series of experiments and case studies. Furthermore, unique techniques to incorporate different materials into origami-inspired constructions are investigated. This study emphasizes the synergies between computer aided designs, material science, and traditional craftsmanship, illustrating how the integration of these disciplines may result in novel design. The findings provide light on the transformational potential of origami-inspired techniques across a wide range of areas.
