“Two dimensional drawing becomes an inhabitable space that traces and reflects nature around it, the lightest structure.” Paper-berg is a collection of three paper shells made of mylar traditionally used in drafting and tracing architectural drawings. Each shell consists of two parts: a paper canopy and wood base. Mylar is a translucent, light, cheap, waterproof and tear-resistant paper. Through layering this material into a 4-ply slab, structurally calculated folding and bending, a sheet of mylar gains the compressive strength to maintain a shell-like shape. The shells are connected to wood straps and footings to create a structure of translucent mylar in which the paper surfaces are perforated to create different visual qualities: opaque, blur, and clear. By adjusting mylar’s unique materiality, Paper-berg folds into a lightweight shelter and reconstructs an existing view of nature into one composed of fluctuating blurriness and transparency.
