I held a series of three sessions at KPF NY demonstrating severals ways to transform a flat single sheet of paper into a complex form.  I demonstrated folds that used both standard origami techniques (square paper, no cutting) and more modern approaches (laser-cut and -scored curves).  The square forms date back to the Bauhaus movement and I was inspired by the work I did for Erik and Marty Demaine when choosing the shapes of the curved forms.  Special thanks also to Alex Soijka who helped with the video.
