title = "Structural Papercuts - Scaling Disclinations in Self-Reactive Surfaces",
abstract = "This paper reviews and explores the topological properties of surface disclinations applied to elastic sheets and suggests how these properties may be reproduced at an architectural scale. A variety of surface disclinations and their translation from digital and physical form- finding processes to thin plywood prototypes are discussed. Initial phases of this research have been focused on the bending behavior of various sheet disclination types and have studied a variety of computational form-finding techniques that demonstrate this behavior in an architectural workflow. Several large-scale prototypes of architectural disclinations were produced to test the scalability of topological\textasciicircum{} induced surface curvature, discussed within the context of bending-active plate structures.",
