Below is a semicircle shaped pleating system. After talking to Matt Schlian, he informed me that a pleating system could form to any shape. In this study, I designed a series of folds that could wrap a semi-circle. It was important to measure the angles correctly, so I first began by illustrating the form I wanted to mimic. I mapped out the angles in illustrator and found that there were only 2 different angles necessary to achieve my intended form. After I had those interior angles, I had to develop a formula that could translate to a folding pattern. I began by mapping out every different angle and looking for a pattern within the diagram.
