Re: the Columbus Cubes modules joining piece diagrammed in Origamiheaven.

I am unclear on the "joining piece." Is the joining piece opened up to 
join the modules? Closed? The rows and walls seem quite unstable.


Looked on YouTube for a video without success.

Suggestions?

[Origami] Looking for designer or name of model(s)

2018-11-13 Thread Andrea Plate
Some time ago (2+ years) I was working on a series of 16 or 17 modular
stars all made from the same unit.  I just found a package of partially
completed stars with their variation number, many completed units, but
nowhere can I find the diagrams or the designer's name!  The units are made
from a 1x2 rectangle.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Thanks for any help.

[Origami] buildings from paper? Shigeru Ban on Emergency shelters made from paper

Hi,  friends

I volunteer with ScienceMentors 1:1, a program in Trenton, New Jersey, that
gets high school kids doing science/environmental/engineering research
projects with adult mentors. One theme of this year's program is housing,
especially for homeless people in Trenton. (Some of the kids in the program
are or have been homeless.)

The work by Japanese architect, Shigeru Ban, with cardboard paper tubing is
an inspiration:
https://www.ted.com/talks/shigeru_ban_emergency_shelters_made_from_paper/discussion

Can you suggest other information on houses, shelters, buildings,
construction methods... using paper as the primary material, whether or not
they use origami?

I feel sure I have seen some (maybe even posted some to this list), but
can't locate them in my own origami files.

I'd also be glad to have suggestions of 3-D origami models of houses,
apartment buildings

Many thanks!

Karen
