”We cultivate particularly feeling for material and space…Basic Design is a forming out of material, which demonstrates the possibilities and limits of materials. This method emphasizes learning, a personal experience, rather than teaching. And so it is important to make inventions and discoveries…”

These workshops have been thought and designed in sequential order, which means that it is recommended to first take workshop 1. Introduction to V-folding and only then workshop 2. From pattern to the folded structure. If you already have experience in the folding paper process, you can directly take workshop no.2, but the ideal would be to start with the first one.
Workshop 1: Introduction to V-Folding
It introduces us to the basics of folding structures through one of the most known and used folds, the V-fold. This type of fold clearly shows the fundamental principles of folding, which is applied to paper, but also allows us to export its behaviour to other materials, such as fabrics, plastics, metal, etc.
The course starts with a basic knowledge of any folding process and then moves on to the geometry and construction of V-folds. Specifically in one of them.
Include:
- 8 videos providing 10 exercises and diagrams
- a learning guide and exercises (PDF)
Methodology
Composed of a series of videos that describe step by step, each of the exercises to be performed and that will guide the learning process. These exercises are aimed at developing the manual ability to manage the material in the creation of folds and to understand how the process of transforming the sheet from its two-dimensional to three-dimensional state works.
The videos will be accompanied by a document (PDF) with proposed exercises to be carried out during or after watching the video.
Please note all video content is pre-recorded, there are no live sessions.
