Episode Synopsis

Robert J. Lang spoke with us about origami, art, math, and lasers. Robert has many origami books, here is a subset: Origami Design Secrets: Mathematical Methods for an Ancient Art (the one we talked about most, has the hummingbird crease pattern) Twists, Tilings, and Tessellations: Mathematical Methods for Geometric Origami (his new one, a textbook!) Origami in Action: Paper Toys That Fly, Flap, Gobble, and Inflate (not a theory book, just fun folds) Origami Sea Life (not mentioned but probably the book Elecia will be getting next) Robert's website langorigami.com is full of neat goodies: Gallery Origami design software including a pointer to the Origamizer by Tomohiro Tachi Crease patterns! Suggested other books: Tomoko Fuse's Origami Boxes: Beautiful Paper Gift Boxes Origami to Astonish and Amuse by Jeremy Shafer Origamido has a number of books. Robert uses Origamido paper but it is unobtanium to most people. Unless you are in Maine.   (Note: book links are affiliate links, we get a little kickback if you buy from there.)
