Abstract
At the end of the 19th century, the German teachers Felix Klein (1849-1925) and Alexander Von Brill (1842-1935) designed real surfaces using different materials such as paper, wire or plaster. Inspired by their work, in this talk we present new techniques that allow us to build new cardboard surfaces.
The main idea of these techniques consists on finding plane curves contained on surfaces that can be used as a pieces to reproduce a real model of the surface.
Biography:
