Origami Tessellations

Treehugger: Stutchbury and Pape’s House of the future : Cardboard

I’ve seen this several times before, but it’s worth showing again. completely paper/cardboard built pre-fab house. neat-o.

Wow, I’ve only been live with this new format for a week or so and already I’m getting a bunch of comment spam. even with Captchas, etc in place… not so good.

So, now all comments must be approved by me before they get posted. I don’t like doing this at all, but I’m not sure I have a choice- I’d love to engage people in conversation, but not at the cost of having hundreds of stupid posts from bots advertising bad things. ugh.

If anyone has a better suggestion by all means let me know, so I can try it out!

Origami – la galerie de Jacquet Fritz Junior

Paul Jackson posted this excellent bit of news on the O-list:

Hi Everyone,

I heard today from Vincent Floderer that his origami artist friend and collaborator Fritz Junior Jacquet has a new website http://www.leplieur.com/ . If he is a new name to you, I highly recommend you take a look at his beautiful and imaginative work.

Here’s a link from me to the English version, on the gallery I like the most out of all of them:

Origami – pliage : découvrer la galerie de Jacquet Fritz Junior en ligne – plieur de papier

The image displayed is great- it’s a man opening up his chest with his hands. what a new, unique, and slightly scary way of showing all those layers normally used in human-torso-folding…
