Mi Wu designs masterly bicolor models and is leading an effort to make the artistic creations of origami designers from China known to the world.

Dave shares with us the history of how his foxhound design came about in 1975. The article also includes a video tutorial and diagrams for a running and sitting version of the dog respectively.

Viviane Berty describes the inner joy of origami design and the beauty of origami designs that gives prominence to the paper and its texture.

Kate Lukasheva offers a very interesting Q&A on pre-scoring machines.

Here is a creator who knows exactly what she loves to do. In an area that seems extremely narrow, Rebecca stretches its borders to the horizons, and creates many variations on a single theme – pots.

This articles shows how to construct arbitrary square grids via folding alone, using Haga's First Theorem.

In origami we frequently need to find an \(n\)th of a paper, often in order to divide it into an \(n \times n\) grid. This article generalizes a common technique for finding references and provides some insight into the geometric properties of paper.

This article tells the tale of the higher spheres of oranges and apples: How I got there, and how to make them.

Two 3D tessellations: a brick wall and an octahedral-tetrahedral truss network.

A sunk-side elbow design is used to create a variety of models: Star Block models in particular. This method has the potential for much creative work!

An essay about origami designer Seth Friedman's experiences involving reading and folding from Crease Patterns.

Curved-crease origami can be designed by considering the properties of ruling lines, lines on the crease pattern that remain straight in the 3D folded form. This technique was developed by David Huffman, who identified conic section curves has being particularly suitable for curved-crease designs. Two examples using ellipses are given as crease patterns.

This article aimed at novice folders examines the design and folding process for geometric bowl and vase models characterized by a series of curved pleats.

A hex-pleated design for a long-legged katydid with some discussion of the design principles.

Tubis and Sprung show that the same starting shapes used previously to create generalized masu boxes [Tubis and Pooley 2012] can be used to produce \(n\)-pointed 3D stars.

A pleated cone sliced by multiple planes creates this geometric model reminiscent of a breaking wave.

This article describes techniques for finding reference points for models with square root of two ratios which are commonly found in 22.5 degree designs.

Crease pattern and design notes for a complex asymmetric waterdragon.

The first in a series, analyzing crease patterns. In this article, we take a big picture look at a Werewolf designed by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/53465278@N02/" target="blank">Jacob Rossman</a>.

Course information for an MIT graduate course in Geometric Folding Algorithms.

This article gives a nice overview of the types of tessellations there are, and how to create one yourself.
