Descriptive Geometry (final project)
The idea behind using the mobius strip is that, because it's technically a one-sided object, the Gaussian curvature at any single point is positive AND negative at the same time. Does this defy the laws of Euclidean geometry? Maybe so.
[clarification: the grid shown on the model in the first step is just made up of isocurves along the surface, so the squares you see are non-developable hyperbolic paraboloids. the idea is that {step 6} the panels are all completely flat]
