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.

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'!
