Twists, Tilings, and Tessellations

Back

While traditional origami focused on representations of nature, modern origami artists have used the principles of origami to create an astonishing variety of geometric shapes incorporating periodic folded patterns reminiscent of Moorish tilings, elaborate twisted forms, and curved and three-dimensional shapes. This book explores both the mathematics and the artistry of this new form of origami, ranging from the underlying principles to detailed folding instructions and numerous photographs.
