313: Where the Paper Knows It Needs to Fold
Robert J. Lang spoke with us about origami, art, math, and lasers.
Robert has many origami books, here is a subset:
Origami Design Secrets: Mathematical Methods for an Ancient Art (the one we talked about most, has the hummingbird crease pattern)
Twists, Tilings, and Tessellations: Mathematical Methods for Geometric Origami (his new one, a textbook!)
Origami in Action: Paper Toys That Fly, Flap, Gobble, and Inflate (not a theory book, just fun folds)
Origami Sea Life (not mentioned but probably the book Elecia will be getting next)
Robert’s website langorigami.com is full of neat goodies:
Origami design software including a pointer to the Origamizer by Tomohiro Tachi
Suggested other books:
Origami to Astonish and Amuse by Jeremy Shafer
Origamido has a number of books. Robert uses Origamido paper but it is unobtanium to most people. Unless you are in Maine.
