"To me the simple act of tying a knot is an adventure in unlimited space. A bit of string affords the dimensional latitude that is unique among the entities. For an uncomplicated strand is a palpable object that, for all practical purposes, possesses one dimension only. If we move a single strand out of the plane, interlacing at will, actual objects of beauty result in what is practically two dimensions; and if we choose to direct our strand out of this plane, another dimension is added which provides an opportunity that is limited only by the scope of our own imagery and the length of a ropemakers coil." | "To me the simple act of tying a knot is an adventure in unlimited space.

- | Pieter - one of the participants at the workshop - recently graduated by developing software to parametrically design foldable architecture. He demonstrated two models of origami-like architectural structures, that he used to test his software. The structures begin as a flat plane, with a textile sandwiched between two layers of wooden panels, combined in such a way that when lifted up in a third dimension, the shape will form folds through mountains and valleys held together by waterproof textile ' | + | Pieter - one of the participants at the workshop - recently graduated by developing software to parametrically design foldable architecture.

Rates vary, proportions change, and the whole configuration alters accordingly." | "An organism is so complex a thing, and growth so complex a phenomenon, that for growth to be so uniform and constant in all the parts as to keep the whole shape unchanged would indeed be an unlikely and an unusual circumstance.
