Abrégé

An illustrative embodiment of the present disclosure provides a ridge vent having a longitudinally-extending top panel, a longitudinally-extending first side, a longitudinally-extending second side, and a first end. The longitudinally-extending top panel is bendable along a longitudinally-extending axis. The longitudinally-extending first side is composed of a longitudinally-extending first arcuate side panel having a concave shape directed toward the ridge vent interior. And the longitudinally-extending second side is composed of a longitudinally-extending second arcuate side panel having a concave shape directed toward the ridge vent interior.

Abrégé

An architectural structure having a curved surface that includes a plurality of folded boxes is provided. Each of the plurality of folded boxes comprising a front box portion and including a front subsurface joined with a plurality of first sides along a plurality of first folds. The curved surface is formed on at least one of the front subsurfaces of at least one of the plurality of folded boxes.

Abrégé

An embodiment of the present disclosure provides complex curved structures and methods of making the same without requiring specially made frames or the like. These structures may include complex multi-axis, spherical, semi-spherical, twisted, or other like curves, for example. In this illustrative embodiment, individually sized boxes are stacked or assembled to form the structure.
