Description
Discover the art and science behind 60 sculptural paper models from a renowned mathematical origami master. Jun Maekawa presents innovative designs that combine fundamental mathematical principles with creative folding techniques.
Explore over 60 unique geometric shapes, including traditional models like the Tetrahedron and Octahedron, as well as unusual forms like the Tetrapod Wave Breaker and Hyperbolic Illusion Cube. The book also features quirky pieces like the Double Spiral Tessellation and a realistic Human Figure.
Each model is accompanied by clear instructions and photos, with an extensive introduction to the geometric principles underlying each piece. You'll find non-traditional designs folded from unusual papers, including dozens of clever boxes and modular models that can be assembled like 3D puzzles.
