Book Hero Magic created this recommendation. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! IS THIS YOUR NEXT READ?

This book suits intermediate origami folders seeking to advance their skills, as well as beginners encouraged to explore the basics. It appeals particularly to readers interested in the mathematical and geometric aspects of origami design.

Offers folding instructions for the construction of over 40 modular origami creations. This title describes how to fold the 'modules' and how to use them as building blocks to construct larger polyhedral models. It is aimed at intermediate folders, but the origami basics included at the start of the book make it accessible to beginners.

Description

This book is a great resource for people who enjoy polyhedra, symmetry, geometry, mathematics and origami. The types of models presented are similar in nature to the models in Mukerji's Marvelous Modular Origami, but some of the chapters are more advanced and all of the designs are new.

The reader can learn about polyhedra while making these models and is left with the ability to design one's own models. Step-by-step folding instructions for over 40 models are presented. Although the book is for intermediate folders, beginners are encouraged to try because origami basics are explained.

The diagrams are easy to follow and each model is accompanied by breathtaking finished model photographs.

About the Author

Meenakshi Mukerji was born and raised in Kolkata, India. She obtained her BS in electrical engineering at the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, and then came to the United States to pursue a master's degree in computer science at Portland State University, Oregon. She worked in the software industry for more than a decade before attending a class by Doug Philips, at which point she started folding modular origami and displaying it on her website (www.origamee.net). She has many designs to her credit. In 2005, Origami USA presented her with the Florence Temko award for her exceptional contribution to origami. Her first book, Marvelous Modular Origami, was published in 2007.
