Week 02 - paper folding

First model: 

The first model I have created is not based on any actual architecture by Coop Himmelblau but the general style and concept of Coop Himmelblau's architectures. Most of the Coop Himmelblau's architectures are formed by some random shape and we can always see some combinations of curves and straight lines in a same architecture and these ideas make me create such model.

Martin Luther Church:


Another model I have create is based on the Martin Luther Church and we can see that how beautiful the curved shape the building is.

UFA Cinema Center:





For the third model, we are allowed to create in anyway we want but not only folding. Therefore, I tried to create a more complex architecture - the UFA cinema center. Although, we can use more than one paper, it is still quite hard to create such building and actually all of the Coop Himmelblau's architectures are quite hard to create by just some paper as their buildings have really complex shape. I think I have already done quite well this time
