Robert J. Lang spoke with us about origami, art, math, and lasers.

Robert has many origami books, here is a subset:

• Origami Design Secrets: Mathematical Methods for an Ancient Art (the one we talked about most, has the hummingbird crease pattern)

• Twists, Tilings, and Tessellations: Mathematical Methods for Geometric Origami (his new one, a textbook!)

• Origami in Action: Paper Toys That Fly, Flap, Gobble, and Inflate (not a theory book, just fun folds)

• Origami Sea Life (not mentioned but probably the book Elecia will be getting next)

Robert’s website langorigami.com is full of neat goodies:

• Gallery

• Origami design software including a pointer to the Origamizer by Tomohiro Tachi

• Crease patterns!

Suggested other books:

• Tomoko Fuse's Origami Boxes: Beautiful Paper Gift Boxes

• Origami to Astonish and Amuse by Jeremy Shafer

Origamido has a number of books. Robert uses Origamido paper but it is unobtanium to most people. Unless you are in Maine.
