![]() Of course, you can combine several types of tessellations in one project. Last in my list is the group of folds that are simply done this way: one row folded back and two rows are folded forth. "Wave" Tessellation designed and folded by Ilan Garibi, Elephant Hide A classic recursive model is the Hydrangea by Fujimoto. The concept here is to make the same fold in a smaller scale on one square in a repetitive manner. "Hydrangea" designed by Shuzo Fujimoto, folded by Sara Adams, Dreamy paper There is no point in using backlighting on this type. The entire original surface of the paper is visible to the eye, and the pattern is usually in the form of waves. This type of tessellation has no triple or more layers. "Diamond Corrugation" Tessellation designed and folded by Ilan Garibi, 40gsm Kraft paperīorrowed from the English dictionary, a corrugation is: a wrinkle fold furrow ridge. For that reason one tessellation can give you four models: first side, the other side, and both sides backlit. One layer is a bit transparent while three layers and more are dark. This change of number of layers gives the most amazing effect when you backlight your model. This is because whenever the paper is first folded this way, it must be folded the other way, too, to allow continuity. By nature, the surface of the final model will have an odd number of layers (one, three, five, or even more) throughout. It is made of Molecules that can be spread in all four (or six) directions, covering a continuous surface. It's based on two major grid types - the Hexagon and the Square.

Here is my humble addition to this field.įirst, let's define the types of tessellations. There are Corrugations, Molecules, Curved Tessellations, and so many other subcategories. ![]() Definitions, which, by definition, try to draw definite border lines, can only do injustice to this field. Tessellations are the new trend in the origami world.
