Abstract	Folding of a plate will affect its stiffness, shape and expression. This principle can be used in architecture to create material efficient structures that are load bearing, space enclosing and expressive at the same time. Folded plate structures are not very developed or commonly used in the building industry, apart from in the very basic form of simply corrugated sheets. To create more complex folded plate structures, the designer need to have an understanding of the mechanical and kinematical behavior associated with different fold patterns. Further, a method for parametrical modelling and analysis will give more possibilities and facilitate the design process. This report results in a design method for folded plate structures. The proposed method includes: Investigation of different origami tessellations and their properties in simple paper models. Generation of two-dimensional crease patterns in Rhinoceros parametrical plug-in Grasshopper. Folding and shaping of the structure in Grasshopper physics simulation add-on Kangaroo. Structural analysis using Grasshopper FE add-on Karamba. Building of scale models for an intuitive understanding of the structure. The final method is applied in the design and construction of a full-scale plywood pavilion. To be able to realize this pavilion, some more practical issues were investigated as well, including design of connections and internal constraints needed to stabilize the structure.
