Origami Polyhedra For Beginners

This manual features 17 easy-to-master projects involving the Platonic solids: the tetrahedron, hexahedron, octahedron, dodecahedron, and icosahedron. Includes detailed diagrams and photos of all the completed models.

Polyhedron Origami For Beginners is a Japan Publications publication.

Learn to fold incredible geometric origami models from "The Queen of Modular Origami!" In this book, Tomoko Fuse--Japan's most famous living origami artist--shows you how to create amazing polyhedral models using the techniques of modular origami (where many paper sheets are folded then locked together without glue or tape). Make 64 intriguing modular models, including: Stackable Modules--The perfect starting point for novices, these simple constructions result in stunning three-dimensional forms 3-D Stars--Dazzling decorative starbursts that look great on a Christmas tree, on your mantle--or even in an art gallery Manifold Modulars--"Inception-like" models in which individual modular constructions themselves become modules within a larger piece Cubes and Boxes--Perfect for gift giving--and there is no finer teacher for these than renowned origami box specialist Tomoko Fuse And many more! *Recommended for experienced folders and up*

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,

From the simple Triangular Diamond and the Tower to the more advanced Cuboctahedron and the magnificent Stella Octangular, 30 multifaceted marvels will not only challenge devotees of the ancient Japanese art of paperfolding but will also appeal to students and others interested in math and geometry.

Innovative, challenging book provides instructions, diagrams for creating polyhedra models — from the relatively simple tetrahedron to the mind-boggling truncated hexadecahedron.

Ingenious geometric models from Japan's leading designer of polyhedral origami! Origami Polyhedra for Beginners puts a new spin on the ancient art of paper folding, opening the door to a world filled with beautiful geometric shapes. In this book, Miyuki Kawamura, a master of polyhedral origami, shows you how to create 55 different models using squares of brightly-colored paper. Modular origami models are created using multiple sheets of paper that are folded and then locked together without the use of glue or tape. Clear step-by-step instructions for each model are provided. These amazing creations will captivate everyone who sees them! The models in this book are surprisingly easy to make, and include: Building Blocks and Tiles which can be stacked and combined Striking Pyramids, Cubes, Stars and Spheres Dramatic polyhedral "Wireframes" and "Skeletons" with open latticework Star-shaped Icosahedrons that look like they belong on a Christmas tree Playful Windmills, Water Wheels and many other Polyhedral "Kits"! The sense of accomplishment and delight you will experience from completing these models is well worth the time and effort!

Step-by-step instructions, diagrams for creating 35 different polyhedra from origami units — from simple modular cubes to a 14-sided cuboctahedron!
