The beauty of the art of Origami has always been the tradition of which its based on. The digital masters program at Sydney's University of Technology has appropriated the very tradition with it's digital origami. By asking students to study trends in parametric modeling, digital fabrication and material science, the team created an amazing display which reflects on the beauty and tradition of the Japanese art but delivers its aesthetics in a modern and current practice. The digital Origami exhibition is a progressive display of re inventing ancient traditions in digital parameters.

Using 3500 recycled cardboard molecules, University of Technology design students, under the guidance of lecturer Chris Bosse, examined various aspects of architectural foundations through small elements of design.

The result is a cool installation which examines space and the elements of design including arches, walls tunnels and  traditional structures. The room full of Geometric paper shapes, placed on top of one another and adhered to ceilings and walls are brilliantly illuminated by expressive neon lighting which further emphasizes the angular structure of the work itself. Bosse cites the aim of the project as " testing the fitness of a particular module, copied from nature, to generate architectural space, with the assumption that the intelligence of the smallest unit dictates the intelligence of the overall system.
