Folded Paper Geometry: Essential Constructions for Designers

Paul Jackson

In an age of digital precision, Folded Paper Geometry brings design back to its most fundamental tool--your hands. It explores the beauty, simplicity and ingenuity of geometric structures through the act of folding, revealing how single sheets of paper can be transformed into breathtaking, functional forms.

The book delves into the underlying design principles that make folded geometry so powerful, from simple two-dimensional polygons to complex three-dimensional polyhedra. Whether you are a designer, maker, educator or curious thinker, you will find practical techniques and inspiring insights to enhance your creative practice.

Without the need for any special tools, the author encourages you to step away from the screen, pick up a piece of paper, and embark on a hands-on journey where design, geometry and imagination converge.

The step-by-step projects are accompanied by over 400 detailed illustrations and colour photos. The book also contains QR codes or hyperlinks to 10 video tutorials of some of the folding techniques and constructions you can make.
