Are those not > origami because the piece relies on something that is not valley & mountain > folds? See works of Giang Ding > Diana The answer to that is, the units for kusudama are generally folded for that particular form and interfolded to ctrate locking when necessary. Golden venture units are just stacked vertically exactly like Lego and just like Lego, they are also unidirectional units which are stacked one way and not interfolded or locked in any way. Kusudama on the other hand, involves lot more origami techniques, folds and geometry to achieve the desired result. Even though the end result is constructed by connecting the pieces with locking folds, the final shape is more defined and structured than the freeform brick layering in Golden venture construction. As for the free form origami like Giang Dinh, the final product is a result of paper shaped with one or more folds. It is still Origami with non geometric and non sharp folds. In the myriad of geometrically folded origami, we need to remember that, technically, when a paper changes the direction or a leaves the plane, it is a fold. It does not matter how sharp or smooth the change is. With that in mind, the free form shaping is still origami as long it produces the result just by folding, without cutting or gluing. Having said that, I also enjoy golden Venture “origami” and so does my nephew who received a 3D ‘Minion’ from me on his Birthday.

Re: [Origami] 3D Origami
In my opinion, 3D origami is nothing but a construction technique using block stacking akin to Lego. Albeit the base module or block is created using a few simple folds of a rectangular paper, the focus is on just block stacking. It looses the essence of the basic principles of Origami.

[Origami] New Model
I recently re-envisioned an existing geometrical shape with a completely different unit. Does that count as a new model? Although the shape is same, the units and the final result are different than the original model. [image: Picture] Sunil Dhavalikar sunil.ku...@gmail.com (215) 718-5818 I am certainly wiser, now that I know that I know nothing.
