John Montroll – probably the most prolific Western artist and author of over 40 books on origami; Jeannine Mosley – best known for her origami models created from business cards, [7] including the Menger Sponge. [1] She has developed mathematical techniques for designing and analyzing curved origami models. [7]
There are two traditional methods for making polyhedra out of paper: polyhedral nets and modular origami.In the net method, the faces of the polyhedron are placed to form an irregular shape on a flat sheet of paper, with some of these faces connected to each other within this shape; it is cut out and folded into the shape of the polyhedron, and the remaining pairs of faces are attached together.

By his early teens, he was designing original origami patterns. [2] Lang used origami as an escape from the pressures of undergraduate studies. While studying at Caltech, Lang came into contact with other origami masters such as Michael LaFosse, John Montroll, Joseph Wu, and Paul Jackson through the Origami Center of America, now known as ...
Elliott Montroll was born on May 4, 1916, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and received his elementary and high school education at the Dormont Public Schools.In 1933 he entered the University of Pittsburgh and in 1937 he received a BS degree in Chemistry.
Origami tessellation is a branch that has grown in popularity after 2000. A tessellation is a collection of figures filling a plane with no gaps or overlaps. In origami tessellations, pleats are used to connect molecules such as twist folds together in a repeating fashion.
