A couple of years ago I stumbled upon the term rigid origami while doing research for a university architecture project. The project was part of a course called "Optimized structures" and our task was to conceive an optimized structure. As with most crazy architecture projects we were allowed to roam free and conceive any kind of structure as long as it was some kind of optimization. (...)

This December is apparently extreme with regard to weather in Stuttgart, where I am currently doing my internship. There have been storms, extreme cold and "heavy" snow fall. For a northerner like me it's practically a pretty decent winter so far, and I really do like snow. So much in fact that I decided I would finally script some recursive fractal snow flakes in C#! Enjoy this interactive parametric model!
