Origami Group is a part of Structural Morphology Group ( SMG), WG 15 of International Association for Shells and Spatial Structures (IASS).
The research objective of the study group Origami is to bring new ideas, based on origami research, to the field of structural design and fabrication technologies. The goal of the study group goes well beyond the application of origami patterns in design. The aim is to innovate structures and fabrication technologies through the fundamental understanding of the dynamic and geometric characteristics of origami.
