This diploma explores the relationship between the body, materiality, and architectural space through the study of folding as a morphogenetic and constructive mechanism. The starting point for this research is the Tunica Dalmatica, a historical garment whose geometry, flexibility, and capacity for transformation offer an interesting model for the transition from the scale of the body to the scale of architecture. Through the process of analyzing, deconstructing, and reconstructing pleated geometries, a design methodology is developed that combines computational design, physical prototyping, and environmental adaptability.

 This work falls within the broader field of adaptive architecture and deployable systems, examining how the principles of origami can contribute to the creation of lightweight, reversible, and environmentally responsive structures. The archaeological site of Dion was selected as the application site a place with a strong historical, cultural, and environmental identity,where the architectural proposal seeks to activate the relationship between landscape, movement, and collective experience.

 This diploma thesis investigates the transition from the scale of the human body to the architectural scale through folding systems and origami-based design methodologies. The research takes the Tunica Dalmatica as its starting point, approaching the garment as a spatial prototype capable of transferring qualities such as flexibility, mobility, folding and adaptability into architectural design.

 The study is grounded in the analysis of adaptive architecture precedents and the investigation of fundamental origami patterns, including Yoshimura, Miura-Ori and Pleat Fold systems. Through computational design tools and simulation workflows, the research develops MoRRY, a recombinant origami framework that combines multiple geometric logics to generate transformable and environmentally responsive structures.

 The proposal is applied to the archaeological site of Dion in Northern Greece, where a network of lightweight deployable pavilions is designed in response to the site’s climatic, historical and spatial characteristics. The fabrication strategy relies on articulated timber components, architectural mesh membranes and 3D-printed connectors, while the design process integrates digital morphogenesis, physical prototyping and environmental performance evaluation.

 The thesis proposes an architectural approach in which geometry, materiality, fabrication and environmental behaviour operate as interconnected systems, redefining the architectural envelope as a dynamic, adaptive and responsive field.
