Skeleton (4) (CFW 234)

This is one of Shuzo Fujimoto’s designs that include the word skeleton in their names. They are corrugations, aligned into 3D structures that look like intersecting planar fragments. The number 4 in this model’s case comes from the fact that it has 4 sides when seen from above. Another name (originally in English) that appears in Fujimoto’s books is Skeleton Complex (4) with a square. The last grid row at the end of the model can be left open, forming a kind of box, folded down to form a flat surfaced, or used to connect multiple models into a longer assembly. It is, of course, also possible to extend the model by folding it from a rectangle instead of a square.
