11/12/2018 Hi, friends
I volunteer with ScienceMentors 1:1, a program in Trenton, New Jersey, that gets high school kids doing science/environmental/engineering research projects with adult mentors. One theme of this year's program is housing, especially for homeless people in Trenton. (Some of the kids in the program are or have been homeless.) The work by Japanese architect, Shigeru Ban, with cardboard paper tubing is an inspiration: https://www.ted.com/talks/shigeru_ban_emergency_shelters_made_from_paper/discussion Can you suggest other information on houses, shelters, buildings, construction methods... using paper as the primary material, whether or not they use origami? I feel sure I have seen some (maybe even posted some to this list), but can't locate them in my own origami files. I'd also be glad to have suggestions of 3-D origami models of houses, apartment buildings.... Many thanks! Karen Karen Reeds, co-ringleader Princeton Public Library Origami Group Affiliate of Origami USA, http://origamiusa.org/ We usually meet 2nd Wednesday of the month, 6:30-8pm, First Floor, Quiet Room. Free! We provide paper! All welcome! (Kids under 8, please bring a grown-up.)
