An Ingenious Paper Map Zooms In Just Like Google
It seems that the convenience of GPS-centered, pinch-zoomable digital maps have left good old paper maps behind. That was, until designer Anne Stauche brought some interaction magic back to the paper world. Map² is probably the smartest paper map you’ve ever consulted for directions. It starts as a square with a tiny city overview. It unfolds to two panes of mass transit. It unfolds again to four panes of the city map. “I’m fascinated by how interaction design can be translated into physical products,” Stauche tells Co.Design. Indeed, whereas interaction design drives innovation in the app marketplace, it’s often an afterthought in analog goods that might opt to focus on the comfort of ergonomics or the clarity of illustration rather than new paradigms of core usability. “The most time-consuming part is the actual design of the city maps. As of now, Stauche has built two maps for London and Berlin.

ABSABS is an amorphous thermoplastic blend and cuts cleanly as a film.More AcetalAcetal cuts cleanly in thin gauges, and also engraves nicely.More AcrylicAcrylic is one of the most versatile laser materials. We laser cut up to 1" stock. The edges are smooth, clean,…More Anodized AluminumAnodized Aluminum can be laser engraved and etched. This kind of marking is common.More CardboardCardboard is widely used for prototyping and pilot production and cuts cleanly with lasers. Laser cutting and engraving MDFMDF is one of our favorite materials for laser cutting and engraving.

49 stunning examples of letterpress printing
When it comes to printing, whether business cards, posters, greeting cards or invitations, you will invariably be presented with a multitude of mind-boggling options. You can opt for digital, die cut, thermography, lithography — the possibilities are endless! But what about letterpress printing? And what exactly is letterpress printing anyway? For those that don’t already know, letterpress printing is a process of ‘relief’ printing text and image using a ‘type-high bed’ press and movable type, where a reversed and raised surface is inked and then pressed into paper to obtain a positive right-reading image. Following a revival that took place in the 1990’s, led by many design schools introducing the teaching of letterpress, the previously specialist and expensive form of printing has become widely used once again. Enough talking, we’ve gone ahead and generously pulled together 49 of the most gorgeous Letterpress prints we could find. Have you worked with letterpress printing?

Das Institut fuer Konstruktion und Gestaltung, das sich sehr intensiv mit dem Zusammenhang zwischen Form und konstruktiven Aspekten beschaeftigt, hat mit dem Kollektiv ArchiWASTE, das sich seit Jahren mit den Themen Recycling in der Architektur und Faltwerken beschaeftigt, gemeinsam im Zuge der Lehrveranstaltung „Form Konstruktion Material“ einen 10 Meter hohenTurm aus Karton entwickelt. Dieser konnte im Rahmen der Ausstellung „Carton Plein!“ in der Cité Chaillot (Cité de l’architecture et du patrimoine, Paris) gezeigt werden. Es handelt sich hier um einen gefalteten Streifen der Immerhin 10 Meter Hoehe erreicht und von Studenten in nur einem Tag errichtet wurde…about the expo from archiWASTE Team Sponsors and Supporters ArchitekturWerkstatt der Universitaet Innsbruck, Autoverleih Buchbinder, FrankreichSchwerpunkt, Tischlerei Tauber, Aste-Ausserladscheider, Tischlerei Tauber, Schlosserei Peschetz,

Geometric Paper Folding: Dr. David Huffman
Nov 1996 David Huffman has been creating some very complex and original folded structures. He works with both straight and curved folds, using mathematical techniques that he has developed over many years. Mr. Huffman teaches at the University of California at Santa Cruz. Here are three examples of his work. The piece above was created by 4 parabolic curved folds that meet in a central square. This "earthquake" pattern consists of many straight folds. Here 4 free hand curves were used to make this unusual surface. A very simple surface can be made by making two folds in the center, one straight and one curved. These two folds conspire to remove material from the center of the sheet. An recent paper appearing in SigGraph 2008, entitled " Curved Folding " discusses computer simulation and modelling of curved folds.
Serie A – Arts & Architecture
In dieser Ausgabe der Serie-A suchen wir nach Schnittstellen von Kunst und Architektur. Wie sehen die Einflüsse von Kunst auf die künstlerische Gestaltungslehre in der Architekturausbildung aus? Wie geht das zusammen? Kunst stellt Fragen, Architektur hingegen sollte Fragen beantworten. Die ausgewählten Forschungsprojekte dieses Berichtes beleuchten unterschiedliche Aspekte der Einflussnahme von Kunst oder Kunstpraxis auf die Architektenausbildung: Das Buchprojekt über die Bildgeschichte des Grundrisses skizziert eine Analyse aus kunsthistorischer und kulturgeschichtlicher Perspektive und veranschaulicht die Inhalte, die sich diesem Medium entnehmen lassen. Wie die Adaption künstlerischer Methoden etwa des Origami, der japanischen Papierfaltkunst für die Architektur und Technik nutzbar gemacht werden kann, zeigen die Untersuchungen von Faltstrukturen als Konstruktionsprinzip.
