It presents a design method to approximate any surface made by the translation of a generic curve along a straight line or connected segments. The method achieves a continuous, foldable 3D grid which approximates the target surface along two perpendicular directions. The parameters defining the target surface and the sharpness of the folded plates can be freely set. © 2015 IASS.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessCurved Foldable PlatesKinetic ArchitectureOrigamiPolar MethodArticle5621251362-s2.0-84936869055Q2
