Origami Polyhedra Design

Origami Polyhedra Design

This book unravels the mystery of Geometry in Origami with a unique approach: 64 Polyhedra designs each made from a single square sheet of paper no cuts no glue; each polyhedron the largest possible from the starting size of square and each having an ingenious locking mechanism to hold its shape. The author covers the five Platonic solids (cube tetrahedron octahedron icosahedron and dodecahedron). There are ample variations with different color patterns and sunken sides. Dipyramids and Dimpled Dipyramids unexplored before this in Origami are also covered. There are a total of 64 models in the book. All the designs have an interesting look and a pleasing folding sequence and are based on unique mathematical equations. | Origami Polyhedra Design

Origami 4

Origami 4

The connections between origami mathematics science technology and education have been a topic of considerable interest now for several decades. While many individuals have happened upon discrete connections among these fields during the twentieth century the field really took off when previously isolated individuals began to make stronger connections with each other through a series of conferences exploring the links between origami and the outside world. The Fourth International Meeting on Origami in Science Mathematics and Education (4OSME) held in September 2006 at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena California brought together an unprecedented number of researchers presenting on topics ranging from mathematics to technology to educational uses of origami to fine art and to computer programs for the design of origami. Selected papers based on talks presented at that conference make up the book you hold in your hands. | Origami 4
