The main challenge lies in constructing differently curved panels using a single fold, rather than planarizing all the sub-panels in the computational model to fabricate them from flat material. The approach shows strong potential up to a certain degree of surface curvature.

Just for fun, but impressive:
Following images are generated by ChatGPT 4o version. It imagined this structure just from the short description from above without seeing any pictures. Since it was not specified in my text, that they are quad-panels, it created triangular panels. But it looks actually quite nice.
So I added some more explanation about my panel design. The result is less interesting because the panels are flat.
So I decided to show(upload) the photos of my prototype and to ask for pavilion design using my modules.
In the end, this is not just fun. This helps imagine what would be possible to build with this module. We can create even more design ideas and explore more options in a short time. AI is now one of the real design tools.
