Workshop Papers
Abstract
GOMYAP workshops are focusing on the development of creative and critical thinking through design. The tool use for the workshop is a paper toy named GOM (Geometrical Object Making), created by Gizem Aytaç in order to emphasize the collaboration between geometry and the design process. The Design profession as architecture acts like a bridge between math and art. Participants will learn to fold GOM modules by creating polyhedral objects in order to be introduced to the collaboration between geometry and everyday objects. This open-ended workshop lasts for 90 minutes and ends with the designing and making of participants’ dream models.
