Master 60+ geometric paper sculptures with modular folding techniques
Geometric precision meets accessible technique in this systematic approach to modular paper sculpture. Alexander Heinz builds on mathematical folding principles to present eight core models, triangles, squares, pentagons, and hexagons, that share identical edge lengths, a seemingly simple detail that transforms how these forms interact. That standardization means every module locks to every other module, edge to edge and corner to corner, opening combinatorial possibilities that generate more than 60 distinct sculptural forms.
The folding technique itself is Heinz's own development, refined to balance visual complexity with actual ease of assembly. Projects that appear intricate resolve into straightforward sequences once you understand the underlying geometry. Symmetrical modular construction provides clear assembly logic rather than ambiguous instructions, while the mathematical foundation ensures structural integrity without requiring engineering knowledge.
Hardcover format and generous 9x10.25 dimensions give the 176 pages room to illustrate both folding sequences and finished forms clearly. Once you've worked through the core models and grasped how edge-length consistency enables different combinations, you can experiment with color patterns and custom configurations. This book provides the geometric framework; your material choices and assembly decisions create the individual character of each sculpture.
