I found this interesting design on Galen Pickett’s website, in one of the rather hidden(1) galleries(2) he has full of origami goodies. It’s a model called “Flammifer” by Peter Budai, who I had never heard of until seeing this model. Here’s a great little writeup by David Lister from a few years back about him. What I thought was the most interesting thing about this design is that I’ve folded something very similar to this, but with hexagonal instead of triangular square symmetry; but in all other respects it matches the doubling dual-sided pattern exactly.

Variação da Pinwheel, backlit Originally uploaded by Melisande*. another wonderful tessellation from Melisande. it’s completely fascinating how we all pull ideas from each other, and use bits and pieces to create a completely new piece of art. I love seeing people remix other works to come up with something new and wholly wonderful on it’s own. in this case, the pinwheel meme just keeps going!
