Dice, Honeycomb, Pyramid – Magical Models from Paper

Description

Small and big create together! There is hardly any item to buy that is not packaged. Sometimes these product packages have very special shapes, such as the Toblerone box. How do such shapes come about? The basis is geometric bodies, as found in nature also in crystals. In the workshop, paper bodies in mini and maxi format are built step by step, inspired by fascinating crystal models. Opening on one side, they become boxes in which treasures can be filled. In cooperation with extract, ETH Zurich, in the program for the exhibition "Models – Shaping Knowledge" (21.08.2026–27.06.2027) For children from 6 years together with an adult. With Nicola von Albrecht, Curator Mediation
