Hannah Allign's folding curtain is one of my favorite things that I came across in the last week while doing some research. She wanted to create a new system to use as a curtain, which would eliminate the massive amounts of fabric that arise when a curtain is open. By pulling the cords on this curtain it will begin to move and the triangles will fold together one by one creating geometric shapes that eventually stop in the corner. A weight unfolds the form when the cord is released to close the curtain. I haven't ever seen anything like it. Her website is http://www.allijn.nl/ and it's definitely worth checking out (I also liked her quirky application sketches). Maybe the idea of pulleys or cords that scrunch up fabric could be useful for my project in creating more volumetric areas in the fabric at times.
