Abstract

An Origamic Architecture (OA), originally introduced by Masahiro Chatani in 1980, is a design of cuts and folds on a single piece of paper. Due to rigid paper crafting constraints, the OA design process is often time consuming and requires considerable skills. Several computer-aided design tools have been developed to provide a virtual design environment and assist the design process. However, the ultimate placement of cuts and folds still depends on the user, posing the design process troublesome and highly skill-demanding. Unlike previous work where OA designs approximate 3D models, we use 2D images as input and automatically generate OA designs from 2D shapes.
