Tom Hull
| |
|
We'll learn the Hybrid Unit (unpublished), whose locking mechanism is half-Sonobe unit and half PHiZZ unit.
This is a very versatile unit that takes advantage of both sides of paper, so it's ideal for duo paper!
And it has some cool math aspects too.

Lecture: |
How to Prove that Origami is Hard
| Lecturer: |
Tom Hull
| |
|
We'll go over Bern & Hayes' famous 1996 proof that flat-foldability is NP-hard. Also, I've been working on an improved proof of their result that states: Given a crease pattern AND a mountain-valley assignment, determining if it will fold flat is still NP-hard. I'll discuss my new proof attempt and ask the audience for help in finishing the one hole in the proof (which requires origami knowledge, not necessarily deep math knowledge, to do!).

This lecture is designed to be a crash course introduction designing and analyzing representational origami.
The tree method of origami design with respect to uniaxial bases will be introduced, as well as concepts of space allocation and polygon packing.
Further, we will discuss how to extract information from existing crease patterns to analyze their structure.

Learn to make the basic Bud, and how to customize the profile of the central curved section to make your own designs. Some basics of the theory of curved origami will be covered. Don't worry if you're not a mathematician: the math will be at the level of high school geometry and you don't need to understand it to make the models.
