IGLOO is a foldable tent that enables to create a delimited space of privacy, a little comfort-zone inside a room. It is for children that wants to build their own hidden fort. In this project I took inspiration from the folding techniques, this inspiration is mainly from the book ”Folding techniques for designers” by the paper architect Paul Jackson: I was really fascinated by the ability of turning a flat sheet of paper into almost infinite concrete forms and shapes.

The Migration of Forms

Transfer as a Tool for Ideas. “Our material world is made up of a succession of layers; generation by generation, work by work, each new layer is informed by and created in dialogue with the existing material strata. The food we eat, the spaces we occupy, the written and visual media we engage with, the songs we listen to, the art we spend time with, the films we watch, and the objects we live with were all informed by past material culture and, in turn, will influence future creative decisions.” This short intro by Jasper Morrison offers a clear vision of our material world, how it evolves and how it is understood and utilised, both structurally and chronologically. We can recognise the inherent law which seems to be working in the background of the theory.
