In Unfolded-Paper in Design, Art, Architecture and Industry paper conquers the third dimension and demonstrates the undreamed-of possibilities it holds today for lightweight construction, product design, fashion and art. From "Paper", the collection of bags by Stefan Diez, to Konstantin Grcic's paper models and the scented paper garments of Issey Miyake, this book presents paper as a high-quality contemporary and ecological material. An enormous selection of projects, the lavish design and numerous illustrations provide designers with invaluable inspiration for their work. The content core of the book is a comprehensive list of state-of-the-art paper products and innovative paper technologies, supporting designers in their everyday work with detailed information on the "high-tech" material paper. From Japanese washi paper and paper foam, to ceramic paper and carbon fiber paper, Unfolded presents the latest in research and development, as well as the most important methods and technologies in handcrafts and industry. Mit Unfolded - Papier in Design, Kunst, Architektur und Industrie erobert Papier die dritte Dimension und zeigt, welche ungeahnten Möglichkeiten Papier heute für Leichtbau, Produktdesign, Mode und Kunst bietet. Von der Taschenkollektion "Papier" eines Stefan Diez, über Konstantin Grcics Papiermodelle bis hin zu den duftigen Papierkleidern aus der Feder von Issey Miyake, präsentiert dieses Buch Papier als wertvollen, ökologischen und zeitgemäßen Werkstoff. Mit der enorm großen Auswahl an Projekten, der aufwendigen drucktechnischen Ausstattung und den zahlreichen Abbildungen liefert es Gestaltern wertvolle Inspirationen für ihre Arbeit. Als inhaltliches Fundament des Buches dient ein umfassendes Verzeichnis technischer Papiere und innovativer Papiertechnologien, das die Gestalter bei ihrer täglichen Arbeit mit Fachinformationen zum "Hightech"-Werkstoff Papier unterstützen soll. Von japanischem Washi-Papier über Papierschaum, bis hin zu Keramik- und Karbonfaserpapier präsentiert es den aktuellen Stand aus Forschung und Entwicklung sowie die wichtigsten Verfahrenstechniken aus Handwerk und Industrie.

This easy-to-read 2010 book demonstrates how a simple geometric idea reveals fascinating connections and results in number theory, the mathematics of polyhedra, combinatorial geometry, and group theory. Using a systematic paper-folding procedure it is possible to construct a regular polygon with any number of sides. This remarkable algorithm has led to interesting proofs of certain results in number theory, has been used to answer combinatorial questions involving partitions of space, and has enabled the authors to obtain the formula for the volume of a regular tetrahedron in around three steps, using nothing more complicated than basic arithmetic and the most elementary plane geometry. All of these ideas, and more, reveal the beauty of mathematics and the interconnectedness of its various branches. Detailed instructions, including clear illustrations, enable the reader to gain hands-on experience constructing these models and to discover for themselves the patterns and relationships they unearth.
