#27Shuzo Fujimoto designed the most magical and startling origami model I've ever seen, the Fujimoto Cube. Fortunately that one is famous enough that you can find instructions and videos online, but most of his designs are hard to find. I recently enquired on Twitter about his design for an octahedron, which I was able to find only because a kind stranger responded with a samizdat copy. It's very exciting that his wonde…
Why is a cube 'startling'?
In a single rotation of the Earth sphere, each Time corner point rotates through the other 3-corner Time points, thus creating 16 corners, 96 hours and 4-simultaneous 24-hour Days within a single rotation of Earth – equated to a Higher Order of Life Time Cube.

something im doing wrong but i cant get to the folding instructions...pls help?

I'm not so well-versed on the aesthetics and expectation of origami, but I can see a few things that seem notable about this cube design (based on a video of someone constructing it [0]): - Most of the work is done by a single folding motion, i.e. starting from a pre-creased paper, one motion gets you almost all the way to the cube - All of the visible surface is from the active side of the paper - the cube appears t…
Many thanks, that is really satisfying to watch!
The slide into the first folding motion is magical and I'm glad they just go ahead and repeat it in the video because it deserves many viewings.

#30This is the second time I've come across free out-of-print books on HN, that were hosted on google drive, preventing me from downloading them. The previous were computer books by Usborne.
