The traditional disciplines of artistic expression are reinvented every day, transformed under the influence of technological advances that offer us greater accessibility to fields of action and reflection that were far away socially and physically until now. Architecture has traditionally been known as the art that covers the three major artistic disciplines. In the current contemporary context of creation and thanks to the influence of the new artistic languages and means of creation, the architectural project may be ephemeral, ethereal, and audiovisual, a temporary urban installation, and no longer exclusively eternal heavy, and immobile. Cross-disciplinarity of artistic genres that today represent diversified cultural production offers new opportunities for action and reflection, research, and creation. The course Folding Architecture partakes in this new phase of hybridization and crossbreeding inherent to contemporary creative trends, in which the act of creation has shifted from the individual to a practice of commons, a multidisciplinary community of creators, where collective work is a priority, focusing in the collaborative nature of artistic processes. The traditional art of Origami which has served and still serves as creative inspiration enhances its maximum expressiveness as a medium and as a catalyst for research. As a field of interference between innovations in artistic media, spatial geometries and building materials that enable multiple and heterogeneous applications of the architecture, it offers to us a global vision and at the same time a focal point, a thread of narrative intensity and creative potential.
