CH 30: Origami is Realized Geometry
Origami is the traditional Japanese art of paper folding. It generally requires one piece of paper, and forbids gluing or cutting. It uses a number of folds that combined in different ways create a wide variety of intricate designs. It is a very spatial and geometric art form; perhaps not surprising then it is so popular in a culture that has a very spatial and geometric language and alphabet. Because of origami and geometry's close relationship, a field has evolved, origami sekkei, which is using mathematics to determine and construct new shapes and designs, rather than the trial and error approach of earlier days. It has become a rather rigorous field, with many physicists and scientists proving ever more complex designs with the benefit of mathematics and computer modeling.
