Modulars are a popular genre of geometric origami in which beautiful repetitive patterns are folded and formed from numerous sheets of paper. It is a perfect starting point for origami novices, and the more complex figures provide a great way to level up for intermediate folders and beyond. Modular origami also provides a natural springboard for those yearn to experiment with creating original models, Each design is presented with easy-to-follow, hand-drawn diagrams by Dása Severová. The instructions show the model's progress step by step, and tips invite the folder to enhance the experience with further exploration. Instructions for 41 models are included; almost all are original works by Ilan Garibi, a full-time origami artist. Garibi started to create modulars ten years ago and since then has designed more than 80 original models. This book includes a large range of styles, from flat radial models to polyhedra, in four chapters.The diagrams by Dása Severová, a well-known origami artist, bring life and volume to instructions on flat paper for the most comfortable learning experience for folders at every skill level. Her diagramming style is unique, presenting real shading that gives a crisp sense of volume and realism.

Modular origami is the latest craze in paper folding! These three-dimensional models are created from a number of small pieces of paper that are easily folded and then cleverly fit together to form a spectacular shape. They range from paper polyhedra to bristling buckyballs that are reminiscent of sea urchins—to ornate flower-like spheres. Each piece of paper is held by the tension of the other papers—demonstrating the remarkable hidden properties of paper, which is at the same time flexible but also strong! Author Byriah Loper has been creating modular origami sculptures for just five years, but in that time, he's pushed the upper limits of the art form with some of the largest, most complex geometric paper constructions ever assembled. While many geo-modular origami artists focus on creating dense floral spheres, Byriah has pioneered the open, linear "wire frame" approach, which results in a very complex-looking model that reveals the interior of its form. He exhibits his sculptures annually at the Origami USA convention in New York, and was recently a featured artist at the "Surface to Structure" exhibition at the Cooper Union gallery in the East Village. A great way to learn origami, the easy-to-follow diagrams and step-by-step instructions in this book show you how to fold the paper components and then assemble them to create 22 incredible models. Each model is a new challenge, and the paper sculptures you create look fantastic on your desk or shelf!
