Compressible cylinder/cone origami ie. Issey Miyake

Hi everyone,

 

I came across this video of this "dress" Issey Miyake designed in 2010. Basically, it can be compressed flat and can unfold as a dress as the images below (or in the video at 3.20 seconds). I was wondering if anybody had any ideas on a of parametrically constructing something like this. Here is the link to the video and images.

The only hints I found were here:

Would be great if anyone had any tips or leads!

 

Cheers,

Ra

    I would do it like this:

     

    1. each square (I mean the horizontal section) that comes up is originally a into 20 segments divided circle

    2. you take only 4 points (every 5th) of the circle division and make it a square

    3. create a slider that shifts the selceted points on each level/circle meanwhile moving in z direction

     

    you understand what I mean?

    unfortunaly I do not have rhino here, I can give it a try tomorrow morning

     

    Best Regards
