Origami-based designs have been successfully adopted to solve engineering problems at different scales of application. This article proposes a method for designing origami tessellations composed of quadrilateral meshes and degree-4 vertices. Crease patterns are generated starting from base units to which are applied tailored generation functions. The theoretical framework is further implemented in a parametric design workflow and automated with the aid of an Interactive Evolutionary Algorithm (IEA). The proposed workflow is a flexible tool that could be applied to design and analyse both rigid and non-rigid foldable origami patterns. The design domain could be investigated without pre-defined design goals and with the support of user-defined performance values.

基于折纸的设计已成功用于解决不同应用规模的工程问题。本文提出了一种设计由四边形网格和4度顶点组成的折纸镶嵌的方法。从应用了定制生成函数的基本单元开始生成折痕图案。该理论框架在参数化设计工作流程中进一步实施，并借助交互式进化算法 (IEA) 实现自动化。所提出的工作流程是一种灵活的工具，可用于设计和分析刚性和非刚性可折叠折纸图案。可以在没有预先定义的设计目标和用户定义的性能值的支持下研究设计域。
