The document discusses the concept of folding in various contexts including art, design, fashion, and architecture. Folding is used as a metaphor for creative thinking and understanding relationships between ideas. Several designers are mentioned like Issey Miyake who uses folding techniques in garments, and Zaha Hadid who incorporates folding principles into architecture. Folding is related to concepts in fields like systems theory, chaos theory, and biomimicry.

Consilience is a key word in design: we create a
new world (design) by putting the smaller
components together which we understand.
We hereby create our own reality, by using
creative thinking. We search for the
relationships between independent ideas.
