313: Where the Paper Knows It Needs to Fold


Listen Later

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:

  • Gallery

  • Origami design software including a pointer to the Origamizer by Tomohiro Tachi

  • Crease patterns!

Suggested other books:

  • Tomoko Fuse's Origami Boxes: Beautiful Paper Gift Boxes

  • 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.

(Note: book links are affiliate links, we get a little kickback if you buy from there.)
