Abstract

We define a flexible periodic sponge surface T based on truncated octahedra (TOs), which can be folded flat. We provide a method of creating a model of T through drawing the development (net) of an element of T on a sheet of paper. We show that some parts of T can be fixed by filling some TOs in T, and we propose an architectural scale construction.
