Origami Gallery - modules
I have classified modules used for polyhedra building into three cathegories:
-
vertex modules - each vertex of a polyhedron corresponds with a module,
modules join across an edge;
-
edge modules - each edge of a polyhedron corresponds with a module,
modules join in a vertex;
-
face modules - these modules form faces of a polyhedron,
modules join along an edge or module insertion reaches neighbour face.
To build my models I use modules created by leaders of modular origami:
-
Tomoko Fuse's edge module - open frame 2
(Tomoko Fuse, Unit Origami. Multidimensional Transformations, Japan Publications Inc., Tokio and New York 1990, ISBN 0-87040-852-6, p. 65);
-
Bennett Arnstein's vertex module (one piece triangle
module)
(Rona Gurkewitz, Bennett Arnstein, 3-D Geometric Origami Modular Polyhedra, Dover Publications, Inc., New York 1995, ISBN 0-486-28863-3, p. 37);
-
Lewis Simon's vertex module (two piece triangle module).
(Lewis Simon, Bennett Arnstein, Modular Origami Polyhedra,
Westminster, 1989, p. 26);
-
Jim Plank's edge module "penultimate" .
