If you’ve recently visited Slocum Hall, you likely would have seen the cardboard structure standing 10 feet tall, wide and long in the middle of the central atrium space. Dubbed the “Honeycomb Folds Mockup,” the pavilion is part of an ongoing series and investigation on folding and origami fabrication techniques in concrete by School of Architecture associate professors Roger Hubeli and Julie Larsen, founding partners of APTUM Architecture.
The fabrication of the cardboard structure replicates a robotic concrete prefabrication system that APTUM, along with CEMEX Global R&D the research arm of CEMEX, a global concrete manufacturer has been developing for the design and development of novel architectural forms and elements through the exploration of CEMEX’s concrete technologies.
