In this book, Miyuki Kawamura, a master of polyhedral origami, shows you how to create 55 different models using squares of brightly-coloured paper.

Modular origami models are created using multiple sheets of paper that are folded and then locked together without the use of glue or tape. Clear step-by-step instructions for each model are provided. These amazing creations will captivate everyone who sees them!

The models in this book are surprisingly easy to make, and include:

Building Blocks and Tiles which can be stacked and combined Striking Pyramids, Cubes, Stars and Spheres Dramatic polyhedral 'Wireframes' and 'Skeletons' with open latticework Star-shaped Icosahedrons that look like they belong on a Christmas tree Playful Windmills, Water Wheels and many other Polyhedral 'Kits'!
