本研究設計了能夠自我站立的折紙結構，透過圖案的研究以及實體構造的搭建，進而討論環境與折紙結構的關係。Origami 是一個古老的日本工藝，在不使用剪裁與黏著的前提下，透過折紙工藝將紙張折成立體的雕塑。由於折紙結構有其支撐上的限制，現今的折紙應用上，大多只取其外觀，並利用其他支撐的手法取代了折線。本研究會專注於創作一個新的折紙結構型態，在延續折紙工藝的精神之下，發展自我支撐的模組化系統，進而讓結構有更換材質與圖案的彈性空間。
基於折紙工藝，模組設計，空間設計與視覺藝術的討論，本研究發展出兩個研究問題：一，折紙結構有自我站裡的可能嗎？ 二，如何在折紙結構的表面規劃圖案系統？本論文為創作型論文，透過兩個系列的實驗去探索如何搭建自我站立結構以及圖案如何與結構搭配。而研究的主體也透過文獻探討，執行計畫與反思的循環，不斷的精煉；最後採取三角分析與實際尺寸模型的製作作為此論文評估價值的方法。
最後，這個研究呈現了一個將平面轉為立體結構，並利用編織的手法將紙結構互相連接的過程。本研究提供從事創意產業的研究員應用折紙結構的新方式，利用編織的結構除了能穩固自我站立的折紙結構，也能彰顯折紙結構的精神；另一方面，搭配圖案可以讓結構與空間對話，以及探索不同的視覺語彙。

This thesis focuses on designing a self-standing origami structure, in which an environmental relationship would be formed via the implantation of pattern and material. Origami is an ancient Japanese craft that transforms a sheet of flat paper into a three-dimensional object through techniques of folding and sculpting, without any gluing or scissoring. However, nowadays, many an application replaces the folding part of origami with additional materials to ensure stability and flexibility of paper structure. This research intends to create a new style of self-standing origami structure that retains the spirit of folding, while keeping the space for changing forms, patterns, and materials.
With a focus on origami, modular design, architect and visual art, this research engages with two research questions: 1) Can origami become a self-standing structure? 2) How do we design a pattern that matches with the origami surface? My thesis is a project-led research that explores two experiment tracks: how to achieve self-standing structure, and how to design a pattern on origami. To do so, the method of this research, firstly, was the iteration of contextual review, projects, and reflection; in the latter stage, triangulation and a full-size model contributed as an evaluation method.
In conclusion, this research presents a process in which a 2.5D origami structure is turned into a 3D weaving self-standing module. This thesis offers a new performance of origami to researchers in creative industries. It not only formulates a new connecting system for self-standing patterned module design as a way to highlight origami structure, but also provides a pattern system to build up personalized space through which to flow and explore in different ways.
