Mathematics Of Modular Origami: Kusudama

One important point to be made on assembling modular origami is the color arrangement, where the planar graph theory, polyhedral, and also a coloring-theorem potentially as notorious as the Four Color Theorem, come into play. A planar graph is, by definition, on which edges intersect at vertex points only. And in modular origami, such graphs are often “capped”—meaning they would have pyramid shapes capped on each face, resulting in a spiky surface. To find a way to color these surfaces given that no adjacent ones share the same color, the author introduced us to a specific case of Brook’s theorem: a graph is vertex-colorable

Origami: Application in Education and Engineering
Origami in education As is mentioned in the section of origami history, origami has been implemented in child education ever since the 19th century when Friedrich Fröbel founded the world’s first kindergarten. The Fröbelian education was made up of some toys called “gifts” and some activities called “occupations”, origami being one of them. Said gifts and occupations are categorized into three main groups—forms of life, of beauty and of knowledge. Traditional origami, mimicking animals and plants, is grouped under the forms of life while symmetric folding from bases such as the blintz fold is included in the forms of beauty and geometric ones in the forms of knowledge. [3] Nowadays origami is still taught in kindergartens, both for recreational purpose and development of a child’s eyes, brain and hands coordination. And modern researches have introduced studies on the brain activities of children during bimanual task training, more specifically, the part in origami training. This paper here focuses on the functional interhemispheric asymmetry of brain in children aged
Essentially, 4D printed active materials have precisely-programmed microstructures embedded in their strata, effectively allowing them to assume certain shapes spontaneously when the surrounding environment, specifically, temperature, humidity and such, is manipulated. Researchers in the field of material science selected origami as application of this cutting-edge technology, developed calculations and models, and even printed out shape-memorizing polymers that could fold, and unfold themselves from flat sheets to cubes and
