3 months agopaper folding informs folio bridge's steel span over water path in china
FAR Workshop's Folio Bridge in Huzhou, , draws its concept from the structural behaviour of a folded sheet of A4 . The project examines how a simple crease can reinforce a lightweight material while retaining its inherent thinness and visual delicacy. After testing multiple folding configurations, the design team focused on a single-crease strategy to achieve the required span. The form was defined by fitting three construction curves and one construction point to the crease line.
