This origami crane of stainless steel mesh represents a range of our interests in developing material and constructional strategies specific to any project. The availability of steel as a sheet product lends it toward folding in a similar way to paper, and yet steel lacks the ultimate malleability of paper, thus presenting limitations which challenge the initial similarity. Both the similarities and differences between the idea of the sheet material and the reality of its use are evident in this model, which at once falls short of and excels the paper equivalent.
