Y Origami?: Explorations in Folding
Share this pageDavid C. Morgan; Denise M. Halverson; Spencer P. Magleby; Terri C. Bateman; Larry L. Howell
When origami met the worlds of design and engineering, both fields
embraced the ancient art form, using its principles and practices to
discover new problems and to generate inventive solutions.
This book demonstrates the potential of folding to improve the way
things work, simplify how products are produced, and make possible new
objects otherwise impossible. The solar collector, the felt stool, and
the surgery tool have all been influenced in some way by folding
paper. The example section is organized to show the folded figure next
to the product prototype that was inspired by that work of origami. We
have included models made from an array of materials over a range of
sizes. This includes everything from a microscopic mechanism to huge
solar panels designed to unfold in outer space. Most entries are at
the prototype phase—meaning that physical hardware has been
built to demonstrate the concept, but that the examples are not
necessarily available commercially.
Y Origami? also includes brief learning activities related
to paper folding, such as a discussion of Euler's formula, angular
measurements, and developable surfaces, along with more advanced
topics. Throughout the book many diagrams and photographs illustrate
the advancing concepts and methods of origami as an art form and a
problem-solving strategy.
