The rules were to make a three-dimensional structure out of one sheet of bristol board, with only cuts and folds, and without removing any of the paper. Here&#8217;s what I came up with.<\/p>\n<p>The zipper up the back holds the two edges of the sheet together into a circle, and the &#8220;windows&#8221; on the back are really tensioning struts that hold the front to the back. These struts are then folded on the front side to lock them in place, which along with the fold between them, brings the tower to form an asymmetrical heart shape. I then added the ornamental leaf cut-outs, and bent the leaves slightly outward to make it look as though it was covered with vines.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Organically-shaped paper model created with cuts and folds only. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":459,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[3,12],"class_list":["post-129","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-model-making","tag-photography"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/phitMV-25","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":56,"url":"https:\/\/arndis.helioho.st\/wpbb2010\/2008\/04\/real-world-stress-test\/","url_meta":{"origin":129,"position":0},"title":"Real-World Stress Test","author":"Wyn","date":"April 29, 2008","format":false,"excerpt":"Model of a loadbearing structure smashed to flinders by a respectable 480lb.","rel":"","context":"In \"model-making\"","block_context":{"text":"model-making","link":"https:\/\/arndis.helioho.st\/wpbb2010\/tag\/model-making\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"Our smashable structure","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3258\/2721507178_5870b87e63.jpg?resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200},"classes":[]},{"id":6,"url":"https:\/\/arndis.helioho.st\/wpbb2010\/2008\/05\/loft-full-of-curves\/","url_meta":{"origin":129,"position":1},"title":"Loft full of curves","author":"Wyn","date":"May 2, 2008","format":false,"excerpt":"Sustainable Ottawa Westboro loft apartment with a timeless and global aesthetic.","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Residential&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Residential","link":"https:\/\/arndis.helioho.st\/wpbb2010\/category\/residential\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"Loft: Section 1 towards stairs","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3007\/2780422246_149b91225c.jpg?resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200},"classes":[]},{"id":599,"url":"https:\/\/arndis.helioho.st\/wpbb2010\/2009\/11\/lightbox\/","url_meta":{"origin":129,"position":2},"title":"Lightbox","author":"Wyn","date":"November 2, 2009","format":false,"excerpt":"Exercise in creating specific spatial effects through lighting.","rel":"","context":"In \"model-making\"","block_context":{"text":"model-making","link":"https:\/\/arndis.helioho.st\/wpbb2010\/tag\/model-making\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"Narrow, deep, and low - Dramatic","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4047\/4612623416_eab06a85d7.jpg?resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200},"classes":[]},{"id":9,"url":"https:\/\/arndis.helioho.st\/wpbb2010\/2007\/03\/2007-entrance-portfolio\/","url_meta":{"origin":129,"position":3},"title":"2007 entrance portfolio","author":"Wyn","date":"March 15, 2007","format":false,"excerpt":"A sampling of items from my entrance portfolio for Algonquin's BAA Interior Design program.","rel":"","context":"In \"hand sketching &amp;
