Robert J. Lang, one of the world's foremost origami artists
and scientists, presents the never-before-described
mathematical and geometric principles that allow anyone to
design original origami, something once restricted to an
elite few. From the theoretical underpinnings to detailed
step-by-step folding sequences, this book takes a modern
look at the heart of the centuries-old art of origami.
Origami novices will appreciate the organization of the
book, which begins with easy techniques and progresses to
deep and powerful tools for design, all based on simple,
intuitive concepts like grafting, circle packing, and
assembly of tiles. Both novices and aficionados will find
detailed, step-by-step instructions for previously
unpublished models, including the famous "Black Forest
Cuckoo Clock."
