origami structures

For all those Inter-Shifters that remember ARC213 in the 2006-2007 semester, this should bring back a wave of nostalgia for our first ever design project.

And at the time, to think that we were all incredulous about how paper folding could be remotely architectural... just check out the beautiful temporary chapel that Swiss firm Localarchitecture has created in the small town of Pompaples, Switzerland. Chapelle de St-Loup is designed as a provisional solution for the two-year restoration period of the community church.

Here is just a preview of this modest but beautiful chapel. More pictures here and here.
