Modular Origami is the art of constructing shapes, usually polyhedral ones, by putting together easy-to-fold modules or units that securely lock together without cuts or glue. The art enables construction of interesting and complex structures using simple units which look rather uninteresting just by themselves. During the workshop, we will make a simple six-unit modular origami cube with patterns on the faces. We will then discuss other possible constructions with the same kinds of units. If time permits, we can even construct a three-unit hexahedron. However, we will not have time to construct the other possible polyhedral structures during workshop hour, though you will leave with enough basic knowledge and resources to construct on your own at home. Recommended materials: 6 sheets of 4-6â squares of origami paper, preferably in three colors, two sheets of each. Also, have at least about a dozen extra such sheets handy for learning about the additional possible structures. Note that regular origami paper is colored on one side and white on the other. You could use any other paper that has different colors on either side, as long as you can cut them yourselves into precise squares before the workshop begins.
