地球儀、神明鳥居、人形、サカナの枡…。基本的な数学的原理にもとづいて、革新的な折り紙のたたみ方を開発した著者が、様々な幾何学的形状のおりがみの折り方を紹介する。【「TRC MARC」の商品解説】

A magnificent new collection of 60 sculptural paper models from a mathematical origami master!

Master origami folder and author Jun Maekawa is known for developing innovative new methods of folding origami based on fundamental mathematical principles. In The Art & Science of Geometric Origami, he shows you how to fold over 60 different geometric shapes through clear, easy-to-follow instructions and photos.

The unique origami designs in this book include:
New takes on traditional geometric models including the Tetrahedron and Octahedron
Unusual forms like the Tetrapod Wave Breaker, Hyperbolic Illusion Cube--and a Torii Gate
Quirky pieces like the Double Spiral Tessellation, Branching Tree and Fractal Wave
Biological models such as a Lizard, Tethered Cranes and a realistic Human Figure

Folding instructions for each model are prefaced with an extensive introduction to the geometric principles underlying the piece. The models include nontraditional designs folded from unusual papers, including dozens of clever boxes and modular models which are assembled like 3D puzzles!

約60の様々な幾何学的形状のおりがみの折り方を紹介します。ソフトウェアエンジニアでもある折紙作家の前川淳は基本的な数学的原理にもとづいて折紙をたたむ革新的な新しい方法を開発したことで知られています。穴のあるラッピングペーパー、立方体の半分、地球儀、神明鳥居、人形、サカナの枡など、ちょっと変わって奥深い折紙の世界をご堪能いただけます。【商品解説】
