Modular Origami Polyhedra

by Lewis Simon, Bennett Arnstein, Rona Gurkewitz

Step-by-step instructions and clearly detailed diagrams enable origamists to build over 35 different polyhedra from origami units. Fascinating models range from relatively simple modular cubes to more advanced two-piece modules, a gyroscope, and a 14-sided cuboctahedron. Subjects will challenge devotees of the craft, and can demonstrate geometric principles in the classroom.

So many cubes! My favorite form of paper folding. This is the best book I have seen to date to have cubes in it. A few involve scissors, which I disapprove of. But most are based on uncut squares.

It has quite a few really neat projects in it. They also give you lots of options to mix things up. It does need some more clarification on how to put the pieces together to make the various options. But overall, it's really fun to make.

Very technical, you must have at least some sort of background in origami before undertaking some (or rather most) project in this book. However, it is certainly a great resource for enthusiasts.
