Kirigami , coined from the Japanese words kiri “cut,” kami “paper” is a variation of origami that includes folding and cutting of the paper  to obtain 2-dimensional symmetrical patterns or 3-dimensional structure, without using glue. The project pursues an understanding of the technique to obtain a geometrical control of the material through cutting and to transform a planar surface to a 3D landscape under the applied force, making a volume from a plane. The result is an amalgamation between the atmospheric and spacial qualities of the form generated through Kirigami and the narrative of a Railway station platform.
