[Origami] Origami sighting: Five-intersecting tetrahedra

[A V Fernandez via Origami]

Adam Savage (of MythBusters fame) and Matt Parker (Standup Mathematician/ 
numberphile) collaborated in their attempt to show how to build a polyhedra 
model, based on an origami model (Tom Hull’s five intersecting tetrahedra) that 
someone named Polly apparently folded for Matt. They discuss the maths, 
symmetry, logic, and ultimate frustrations of building the model in one day. 
The long YouTube video is well worth one’s time to watch, IMHO. But then again, 
I enjoyed vicariously geeking out with them as they plan, with excitement, to 
build their colorful non-paper model.

[Origami] Origami Sighting

[Kevin Lee]

Hello Folders,

As I'm others will have noticed, on 6th October, the British Origami Society 
Magazine was the Guest Publication in the 'Missing Words' round of the 
venerable UK BBC satirical program, 'Have I Got News For You' - this in 
primetime on a Friday night, on BBC1.

Long running team captain, Ian Hislop (also editor of 'Private Eye' magazine) 
rather disappointingly made the joke about "it's going to fold", to half 
groans, half weak applause from the live audience.

Regards,

[Origami] Origami sighting — money folds in art exhibition

[Karen Reeds]


May 3, 2022

This week’s New Yorker magazine (May 9, 2022, p. 14-15, 
https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2022/05/09/making-art-out-of-inflation ) has 
a very interesting piece about  the artist, Carla Zaccagnini, and her solo 
exhibition at Amant (April-August 2022),  a nonprofit art space in Brooklyn. 

The show, Cuentos de Cuentos/Accounts of Accounting, included a section called 
“Fleeting Fleets” —“dozens of busted currency boats” folded from  Latin 
American banknotes that had been discontinued because of hyperinflation. 

(Money folds? Poverty folds? Both would be accurate.)

[Origami] Origami Sighting - Morbius Movie

[Jacob Metzger]

It seems that the new Marvel movie "Morbius" (I have not seen it) has
a bit of origami in its plot. See review snippet here:

"Born with a rare blood disease, Michael Morbius has spent his entire
life working on two things — a cure, and origami paper-folding. Natch,
it occurs to him to fold together bat and human DNA."

And see what appears to be an origami bat at 2:06 of this trailer:

[Origami] Origami sighting - women's robe w/ cranes and kimono clad rabbits

[Louise Yale via Origami]

Purchased a cotton robe on amazon printed with rabbits dressed in kimonos
and samurai rabbits with swords.

What did not show up in the online photo were the origami cranes sprinkled
among the rabbits.

I do not know how to create a link with amazon but the item is listed as...

"Women's cotton kimono long sleeve Daisy printed bathrobe sleepware" **

The color I chose is called "prayer rabbit"  **

**Somethings became lost in translation. There are no daises and none of
the rabbits are praying.

Fun design and comfy to wear.

In an article about the artist Haegue Yang in the NY Times Sunday Style

"One of Yang’s first big comeback pieces, and the one that launched her
career, was 2006’s “Sadong 30,” which took place in Incheon, a port city in
South Korea, inside her late grandmother’s old house, abandoned for nearly
a decade. It was a ruin, with missing windows, peeling wallpaper and holes
in the ceiling. Yang placed broken and intact mirrors, a folding laundry
rack, lights, an oscillating fan and clusters of delicate origami stars
within the derelict rooms."

The adjacent picture shows an empty, abandoned room with multiple
origami kusudama and other modulars:

[Origami] Origami Sighting

[Anna]

Hello,

I just read a newspaper article about the best European Advertisement of
the year. The video contains Origami models of an important female body
part, that according to the advertisement, should get more attention:

Nice Greetings

I know that those of us in TOFU (Triangle Origami Folders United - NC) would 
love to see it!

It’s only origami when it’s shared.

Just spotted at the Princeton Public Library Reference desk:
a Fortune-teller that leads to reading suggestions. Outer pockets have
colors to spell out. The Blintz layer has categories (mystery, memoir,

out.

[Origami] Origami sighting

[Gerardo @neorigami.com]

I heard in the radio about the Spanish translation of a book ("El Señor
Origami") that was originally in French ("Monsieur Origami"), which is by
Jean-Marc Ceci. Here's the URL to the publisher's webpage of the translated
version: https://www.planetadelibros.com/libro-el-senor-origami/290030

The main character follows a woman from Japan to Italy where he becomes a
washi artisan. Looks like that's just the start of the whole plot. I wonder
how much origami is mentioned in the book.

[Origami] Origami sighting

[Sherry Gerstein via Origami]

Has anyone read Shadows by YA/fantasy writer Robin McKinley? 

Origami has a prominent role in the book, first as a means for two teens to 
find friendship with each other, but also because it has a magic of its own—how 
it can turn paper into something else.

There are also these nice ornaments of origami models at every chapter opener. 
See the example below.

[Origami] Origami sighting —origami in pills

[Karen Reeds]

The online article, "Teaching Old Drugs New Tricks "  AARP Magazine.
November 2018, has photos, but not clear enough to see the origami folds.

Karen  11/20/2018
"The Origami Robot

This tiny, biodegradable robot unfolds itself from a frozen capsule and
then scoots around in the stomach, controlled by magnets outside the body.
So far it has removed foreign objects and repaired wounds in an artificial
stomach. Its creators in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s
Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory say ingestible
robots may someday perform surgeries and deliver drugs, too.


The Accordion Pill

Made of pleated, biodegradable, medical-grade film encased in a capsule,
the Accordion Pill unfurls when the capsule dissolves in stomach fluid. The
pleated film releases the medication, tucked into its folds, for up to 12
hours. The pill was designed as a delivery system for meds, such as the
Parkinson’s disease treatment carbidopa/levodopa, that are best absorbed in
a slow, steady manner in the upper part of the gastrointestinal tract.

[Origami] Origami sighting: red, white, and blue crane on book jacket

[Karen Reeds]

While I was browsing Rowman & Littlefield's website, the crane on the cover
of this new book caught my eye:

Peace Works: America's Unifying Role in a Turbulent World, by Frederick D.
Barton (Rowman & Littlefield, 2018)
https://rowman.com/ISBN/9781538113011

I asked who deserved the credit for the striking design and got this
response from Sally Rinehart, the publisher's Senior Designer:

"Hi Karen! Thanks for reaching out. I made the origami crane for the cover,
though I have to admit the final image is a bit retouched due to my lack of
origami experience (and the technical limitations that come with
constructing a DIY photo studio a cubicle). Thankfully there are YouTube
tutorials for nearly everything!"

Clearly, it's time for Sally to spread her origami wings and come to the
OrigamiUSA convention next month! The diplomat author, now based in
Princeton, has an open invitation to the Princeton Public Library Origami
Group, of course.

This brings back memories. My (German) grandmother taught me this when I
was quite young. I've since forgotten the details. She also taught me what

I believe the -kis polyhedra (triakis, tetrakis, pentakis) are derived by 
raising the centers of the faces of the original polyhedra so as to form 
triangular faces of a constant  dihedral angle. By contrast, some of the 
Archimedean solids have different dihedrals depending on which types of 
polygons meet at an edge.

The website http://dmccooey.com/polyhedra/ has interactive models of hundreds 
of polyhedra in amazingly abstruse categories, and exhaustive data on each. The 
interface could be a little more user friendly, but clicking on the boxes and 
playing around a bit is worth the effort.

happy to have my misconceptions and mistakes pointed out.

At least the following possibilities seem to exist:

Elevation

Accretion

Cumulation

Akisation (from the Conway operator kis)

Kleetope

Pyramidisation or pyramid-augmentation

There are also the triakis polyhedra which can be derived through this process, 
though they appear to be special instances, as are those stellated polyhedra 
which can also be derived in this way.

George Hart suggests that elevation is also a special instance, the addition of 
pyramids with equilateral faces, but I do not know if this is an authoritative 
view.

I am not clear what the process of forming a Kleetope is and whether it is a 
specific process or a general one.

Of the remaining general terms I tend strongly towards cumulation because it 
means, or can mean, 'forming into a pile' which seems to make sense in terms of 
the process. 

Negative cumulation? Surely not? Excavation, perhaps?

And then, of course, I have myself been using pimpled and dimpled for years!

Thanks for all your responses and resource pointers, Robert, Faye and
Francesco.

Elevated Polyhedra seems like a great nomenclature. I myself have
mistakenly called the Sonobe constructions stellated in the past but have
refrained from it more recently after learning the definition. Now I know
to call them elevated.

I’m not sure who did the Lexus commercial, but I had some conversations with 
them last year about wanting origami for some sort of commercial, so I think 
this is what they eventually went with. I’m curious to know who did it. It was 
a fairly complex and unusual brief.

As those intrepid origamists here who do commercial work can attest, the needs 
of advertising does not have a lot of room for purist origamist tendencies :) I 
don’t know how you folks manage to do it!

My source for 'cumulation' was http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Cumulation.html

It even uses origami images, including a sonobe model!

Hi,

>>But then, I haven't found a good name for those Sonobe solids. How about 
>>pyramidized octahedron or icosahedron?

I don’t have an issue with calling them 'stellated' since it means 'turned into 
a star, but I'm aware that there is a strict geometrical definition of a 
stellation and I wondered about this some time ago.

The term I found was 'cumulation', so these would be cumulated solids. I also 
remember that it allowed for 'negative' cumulation, i.e. sunken faces.
I also found the word 'cacuminated' which means 'turned into a pyramid' but 
that was in a dictionary rather than a mathematical book.

(And to pre-empt any questions, I can't remember the source for 'cumulated'. 
I'll see if I can find it again!)

Meenakshi:
A stellated octahedron can be thought of as a compound of two tetrahedra, where 
the spikes are smaller tetrahedra themselves ( 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellated_octahedron).  The Sonobe constructions 
have spikes that are pyramids bound by 3 right isosceles triangles and a 
triangular base. In the case of the Stellated Octahedron, the spikes are bound 
by 4 equilateral triangles. The Sonobe type constructions in no way satisfy the 
criteria for a stellated solid ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellation).

But then, I haven't found a good name for those Sonobe solids. How about 
pyramidized octahedron or icosahedron?

I've seen the terms 'elevated' or 'augmented' used to refer to these types of 
structures. The pyramid sticking out from the base polyhedron does not need to 
be anything special, unless you are looking for the stellation.

In 1509, Luca Pacioli and Leonardo da Vinci put together a book, "La Divina 
Proportione," in which they introduced the concept of erecting a pyramid on 
each face of a polyhedron (which is what is effectively happening in a Sonobe 
solid) and they called the operation "Elevation." So Sonobe solids would be 
(according to that terminology) "elevated polyhedra," and that's the term I've 
used when describing modulars with that form. Here's a Bridges paper that gives 
details:

http://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2014/bridges2014-235.pdf

And if you web-search for "elevated polyhedron", you'll find other papers that 
use the term.

In italian we call them "ottaedro piramidato" and "icosaedro piramidato" that 
you can translate into the terms suggested by Meenakshi.

Re: [Origami] Origami Sighting - Lexus Comercial

[Meenakshi Mukerji]

Thanks for both videos - the commercial as well as behind the scene. A
clarification about the shape. In origami we loosely call the Sonobe type
constructions stellated octahedron (12 units) or stellated icosahedron (30
units) while they are actually not. The the single sheet model in the ad
appears to have the same shape as a 12 unit Sonobe construction.

A stellated octahedron can be thought of as a compound of two tetrahedra,
where the spikes are smaller tetrahedra themselves (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellated_octahedron).  The Sonobe
constructions have spikes that are pyramids bound by 3 right isosceles
triangles and a triangular base. In the case of the Stellated Octahedron,
the spikes are bound by 4 equilateral triangles. The Sonobe type
constructions in no way satisfy the criteria for a stellated solid (

You can also buy these magic cranes at

https://www.seomagic-usa.com/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=origami=p347u343psbfivu1avv3ektoe0=0=0

$26 for regular size.  $45 for jumbo.

If you want to go cheap, you can also find them for around $10, give or
take, by going to eBay.  Not as nicely folded, though- like cheap knock
offs.

Here is how I do it:
- Cut an A4 square (20.8 * 20.8 cm) polyester fabric. 
- Fixate the edges so they do not unravel, I used "Stiffy " for that, just a 
millimeter along the edges; let dry. 
- Carefully fold two flat cranes from 21 cm kami or just plain copy paper.
They must have the same angles etc. 
- Unfold.
- Place the fabric between the two kami layers. Carefully fold all three layers 
into a crane again. 
The thickness of the fabric and the paper is why you want the fabric to be just 
slightly smaller than the paper.
- Place on a flat dish and something flat on top of the flat crane. 
I use two porcelain pie forms of different size so that they can be inside each 
other.  
- Put into oven preheated to 200 celsius for 20 minutes. 
- Let cool completely, e.g. in the fridge.
- Unfold and take out the fabric. Refold.
- Hold in one wing tip and flap hard to unfold the crane.
- Throw it into the air, possibly bashing it up a couple of times, and it 
refolds itself.
 Done correctly, it will refold itself just by throwing it into the air.

You can do this in other fabrics like silk or cotton, but they will not refold, 
and they are not moist resistant, but lose their creases when becoming wet. A 
theatric taylor (if that is what they are called) recommends at least 60 % 
polyester.

You may have to experiment a bit to find the optimal polyester. It should not 
be too thin and soft, a little stiff is fine, but thick is not so good (for 
this purpose).

In the fashion industry similar techniques are employed, often boiling the 
object for an hour instead of using the oven. I find the oven easier to use, at 
least for those smaller objects.

Those fabric cranes and the magical are great for entertaining in a show or 
while teaching. Other models may be used, but the crane works particularly well 
and is a well known and great symbol of origami. I have made e.g. roses and 
birds from silk organza. 

Enjoy,
Hans
