Computational Origami, page 1

Hi all I just stumbled upon this amazing story that words just cannot describe....Enjoy





A tower-like paper
structure folded from a
single sheet of paper
by Dr. David Huffman.

Cones, Curves, Shells, Towers

Huffman died in 1999, but there's a good site with some of his work on it (not pictures, the background):
www.since1968.com...

Here's a page with pictures of the doctor and some of his creations:

And here's a refutation to the old theory (I kept hearing this) that you can only fold a piece of paper 8 times. Apparently not true:

Found some more Huffman Origami pics here they are..
