Download or read book Design Techniques for Origami Tessellation written by Yohei Yamamoto and published by AK Peters/CRC Recreational Mathematics Series. This book was released on 2023-11-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Design Techniques for Origami Tessellations is both a collection of origami tessellations and a manual to design them. This book begins by explaining general design methods, the history and definitions of origami tessellations, and the geometric features of flat origami, before moving on to introduce a brand-new design method: the "twist-based design method." This method generates base parts that connect "twist patterns" (that can be folded with a twist) without using a lattice. Therefore, it can generate base parts such as regular pentagons, which cannot be generated with more conventional methods, and can generate new origami tessellations connected to them. Features: No proofs or formulas in the text and minimal jargon. Suitable for readers with a roughly middle school to high school level of mathematical background. Web application implementing the method described in this book is available, allowing the readers to design their own patterns.

Download or read book Six Simple Twists written by Benjamin DiLeonardo-Parker and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2020-08-27 with total page 595 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new edition of Six Simple Twists: The Pleat Pattern Approach to Origami Tessellation Design introduces an innovative pleat pattern technique for origami designs that is easily accessible to anyone who enjoys the geometry of paper. The book begins with six basic forms meant to ease the reader into the style, and then systematically scaffolds the instructions to build a strong understanding of the techniques, leading to instructions on a limitless number of patterns. It then describes a process of designing additional building blocks. At the end, what emerges is a fascinating artform that will enrich folders for many years.

Download or read book Twist and Tess written by Miguel A. Gañan and published by . This book was released on 2020-10-20 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a prologue by Tomoko Fuse, the worldwide renowned Japanese origami master, the book contains 26 of my favourite tessellations, along other designs derived from those models (3 boxes and 2 "omiyage/tato). The book starts with an introduction to the origins and history of tessellations and describes the techniques and materials needed by those who want to begin with this kind of origami. The models are sorted based on the twists used in each one and include suggestions based on my own folding experience. For each model, a CP (crease pattern) is included, along with step by step instructions to fold it. Those instructions contain diagrams and their related text. At the end of each model you can see the picture of the finished model (usually in the extended version). Scattered between the different models, the reader can see the original hand drawn diagrams by Alejandra Zapico, that were the base of the final computer drawn diagrams. At the end of the book, there are several appendices, such as a small english-spanish origami dictionary, the symbol guide for those used in the book and several references related to tessellations.
Download or read book 3D Origami Art written by Jun Mitani and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Easily Create Origami with Curved Folds and Surfaces Origami—making shapes only through folding—reveals a fascinating area of geometry woven with a variety of representations. The world of origami has progressed dramatically since the advent of computer programs to perform the necessary computations for origami design. 3D Origami Art presents the design methods underlying 3D creations derived from computation. It includes numerous photos and design drawings called crease patterns, which are available for download on the author’s website. Through the book’s clear figures and descriptions, readers can easily create geometric 3D structures out of a set of lines and curves drawn on a 2D plane. The author uses various shapes of sheets such as rectangles and regular polygons, instead of square paper, to create the origami. Many of the origami creations have a 3D structure composed of curved surfaces, and some of them have complicated forms. However, the background theory underlying all the creations is very simple. The author shows how different origami forms are designed from a common theory.
