Studio Exercise 2 - Paper Folding

The following images are of tower-like structures featuring Islamic onion-shaped domes.  Hundertwasser uses these shapes to give the colour and majestic grandeur to the occupants' lives. The golden dome features in many of his design concepts.

In the following images of paper-folded forms, I attempted to recreate Hundertwasser's onion-shaped domes using the "scrunching paper" technique. I then placed it onto a cylindrical rolled paper within another larger cylinder base, with smaller cylinders attached to the top section to recreate one of Hundertwasser's towers.
