| Origamic
Architecture is an amazing paper art. By cutting and
folding, a form jumps out of a piece of paper in
incredible 3-d form.
The concept for
origamic architecture was devised by Masahiro Chatani, a
professor at the Tokyo Institute of Technology. He has
produced many books of patterns and pictures of his
work.
Origamic architecture
comes in three distinct "fold amount types": 0
degree, 90 degree, 180 degree, and 360 degree.
0 degree models are
not folded but have overlapping pieces of paper. This is
an uncommon type of origamic architecture.
90 degree models are
the most common type of origamic architecture. In 90
degree models, there is no pasting.
Another common type
of origamic architecture is the 180 degree model. This
involves a lot of pasting.
360 degree origamic
architecture is uncommon. In these models, the forms can
be stretched 360 degrees.
"Arch
house" is an example of 90 degree Origamic
Architecture
