With kusudama and wireframes, folding still plays a large part influencing the final structure. If you change the folding angles, the design will either not work, or could look wholly different. If you're making tetrahedra, you need 60 degree angles, which are achieved by folding aka origami. If you fold the wrong angles (like 90 degrees) you end up with a different shape (like a cube). With Golden Venture, if you're making a tetrahedron, the shape is not achieved by the folding, but by the stacking of units. The same units stacked differently can produce different shapes. -- Win
