Origami dodecahedra
While searching for an origami model I came across this article where the author Anne Ho says “In order to find a structurally stable and aesthetically pleasing modular origami design, I examined various types of units and their links to make regular dodecahedra. With some modications on a design by Mio Tsugawa, I created an ideal module.” There are three types of modules as defined by Krystyna Burczyk and Wojciech Burczyk: edge modules, vertex modules, and face modules. Edge modules represent the edges and connect at a vertex. Vertex modules represent the vertices and connect across an edge. Face modules represent the faces and connect on an edge. For example, in the case of a regular dodecahedron, thirty edge units, twenty vertex units, or twelve face units are used. After discussing several points, the author concludes that the Modied Arabesque seemed like an ideal unit that is both fairly strong in its links and more aesthetically pleasing.
