Modular building systems (MBS) and Origami are two emerging methods used in current construction practice. Origami is directly associated with the principles of the ancient Japanese art of paper ...

Origami has plenty to offer the world of robotics, inspiring clever folding machines that could find their way into our stomaches and out to Mars. Scientists have again borrowed from this ancient ...

Many of us could happily fold a paper crane, yet few feel confident solving an equation like x³ – 3 x² – x + 3 = 0, to find a value for x. Both activities, however, share similar skills: precision, ...

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have just published a paper on creating modular tubular origami machines which they call “Kinegami”, a portmanteau of “kinematic” and “origami”. The idea ...

You may be familiar with origami, the Japanese art of paper folding, but chances are you haven’t come across smocking. This technique refers to the way fabric can be bunched by stitches, often made in ...

Mechanical metamaterials are architected macroscopic structures assembled with desired geometrical arrangements leading to unusual mechanical properties and deformation modes. The macroscopic ...

On Tuesday, The Open Space Society (TOSS), Jaipur organised an Origami workshop- Fold Unfold with the Mumbai-based origami artist Aditi Anuj. The central idea of the workshop was reusing and ...
