What is Fold Space

Chapter 29
Handbook of Research on Visual Computing and Emerging Geometrical Design Tools
We talk about pleats, folds as possible deployments and dynamic trajectories. Paths to-scalar between structures and organizations, devices and cities, scenarios and projects related to evolutionary geometries (rhizomatic formations, trimmings and lugs, arracinamientos, trusses and kinks, fluctuations revesas and swerving). Open geometries in which whole and fragment parameters respond to open self-similarity between diagrammatic and logical decision-or evolutionary development designed to generate complex configurations from elementary initial codes.

Abstract
Geometry and architecture both have a long trajectory in the history of western thought. Geometry offers the possibility to interpret the physical structure of the world and to develop rational thinking, while architecture provides the capacity to transform the physical substance and meaning of our surroundings. Diverse developments in the field of geometric representation have determined the characteristics of architectural space: from the modulated rigour of Classicism and the birth of Euclidean geometry, to contemporary informalism with the incorporation of digital mathematical calculation and intense questioning and reconsideration of traditional Cartesian space. The two-dimensional constant and dynamic projection of a three-dimensional spatial situation has been upheld since the time of simple spatial-temporal allegories of the architectural project up until the new developments with unconventional instrumental resources, generating innovative structural, formal, spatial and technological solutions.
