I ran a workshop at London Metropolitan University School of Architecture for a unit run by Gianni Botsford and Denis Balent to look into the possibilities of form as a three dimensional problem that can be reduced to two dimensions. Using the body as a starting point, students were asked to create a pattern for a specific part of the body and then document the two dimensional findings.
