Complex Origami Models

At the end of my last show an advanced origami folder asked me what to fold next.  I recommended to check Mr. Robert Lang's origami models.




He's one of the top runners to the modern Origami. Many years ago at origami convention I saw his origami beetle. The details were unbelievable and it took me a while to believe this was only from a sheet of paper.


The New Yorker magazine featured him.   http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2007/02/19/070219fa_fact_orlean

Dr.Lang is an aclaimed scientist and made a presentation at TED, talking about Origami connection with math, science and design. Origami is moving forward rapidly.
The video clip is 16 minutes.
Enjoy!
