Ideas for Gregor's Room Assignment
"Once upon a time, when I was but a wee child of 8 or 9, I was obsessed with making dioramas. My Barbies never had any pedestrian, store bought plastic Dream Houses — no way. Instead, I lovingly dressed them in outfits hand sewn from foil and paper towels, and then constructed elaborate houses made of cardboard, which I furnished with notebook paper couches and armories. Nothing but the best for Barbie, right? Well, she seemed to like it. Years later, when I started school for photography I resurrected my love for scotch tape, staples and plain paper, and for a long time I never photographed anything that had not been cut and formed by my own hands."

The sculptures below use cardboard and tape. However, ideas can be gleaned for the Gregor's Room Assignment.

The idea of "rolling" the paper can be used for Gregor's Room Assignment.
If you roll the paper tight, you create a strong cylinder beam.

Inspires idea to fold pieces of paper and then stack folded pieces
to achieve a 3D form.
Can use slit and tab to keep all folded pieces together.

This Elaborately Armored Samurai Was Folded From A Single Sheet of Paper
Juho Könkkölä spent upwards of 50 hours scoring and folding just one sheet of Wenzhou rice paper to create this painstakingly detailed samurai complete with plated armor, traditional helmet, and sword. Beginning with a 95 x 95-centimeter page, the 23-year-old Finnish artist used a combination of wet and dry origami techniques to shape the 28-centimeter-tall warrior of his own design. “There are several hundreds of steps to fold it from the square and there are probably thousands of individual folds,” he said in a statement, noting that crafting the geometric patterns for the armor was the most difficult. “The asymmetry in the design allowed me to include (a) sword on only one arm while being able to make the character look symmetric.”

Jean Shin and Bryan Berg, Build With No Adhesives
Hmmm...complaining about no tape or glue when making your sculpture???
Chance City, Jean Shin
"Chance City is made up of thousands of discarded scratch-and-win lottery tickets that have been arranged into an urban complex, constructed as a house of cards. Embodying the failed hopes of ordinary people, the worthless lottery tickets become building blocks for monumental, yet temporary structures. While no glue was used to make these towering and precariously-balanced edifices, they are sturdier than they look. The structures, literally held up by gravity and friction, are symbols of the American Dream representing how labor, money and resilience defy the odds of a fragile existence." Link here.
And this person too. No bending, no folding, no tape, no glue. Bryan Berg. Link here.
