313: Where the Paper Knows It Needs to Fold
Your browser doesn't support HTML5 audio
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.
