Klemens Torggler's door

Evolution door

Evolution Door is a 2012 development and Klemens Torggler's best known work. Unlike previous kinetic works, this object is only on one level and unfolds into a third dimension as it moves.

Klemens Torggler's The Evolution Door


The Evolution Door is connected to the door frame with two pivots — at the top and bottom — and consists of four triangular “flip-panels.” When movement is instigated, the four sections collapse in on themselves and rotate 90 degrees before straightening back up into a rectangle.

Implementation

The door consists of two square sections, each divided in half along the diagonal. The diagonals are where two triangular panels meet, connected with something like a piano hinge so that each square can fold as the door moves. And each part of the rectangle of the door must be square. In other words, the door's width must be half of the door's height.
