Geometric Origami

Too hip to be square, "Geometric Origami" takes the art of paper folding to stunning new heights. A sophisticated new origami kit for advanced paper-folding enthusiasts, "Geometric Origami" takes paper art to spectacular new levels. Fifteen intricate paper projects use specially designed strips that come with the book and include a tetrahedron, hexahedron, octahedron, dodecahedron, icosahedron, truncated tetrahedron, cuboctahedron, icosidodecahedron, rhombic triacontahedron, snub dodecahedron, zonohedron, and buckyballs. And don't worry -- there are even a few pronounceable shapes like the egg and a geometric bracelet, plus more surprises. This beautifully designed kit gives a new perspective on geometry and the world of origami and is great fun for the entire family -- or the perfect gift for a math professor.Author BiographyA practitioner of origami for over 50 years, Faye Goldman appreciates that it demonstrates mathematical concepts and is beautiful at the same time.
