Comments on: 6 Amazing Origami Designs! http://inhabitat.com/6-surprising-and-delightful-origami-creations/ Green design & eco innovation for a better world Wed, 19 Jun 2013 15:10:55 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc By: bryantyee http://inhabitat.com/6-surprising-and-delightful-origami-creations/comment-page-1/#comment-379219 bryantyee Wed, 28 Mar 2012 13:50:07 +0000 http://inhabitat.com/?p=367258#comment-379219 I would like to learn about the practical implications of origami and how it can be applied to innovative new designs. ie The miura ori fold used in the solar panels of satellites, or the water-bomb base fold found in heart stints. In my senior thesis, that you featured on your site last month, I used origami to create a glue-free packaging box for LED bulbs, made completely out of paper. The intention was to raise awareness in the amount of single-use plastic we put in packaging. As a young designer, I think there is something very valuable that we can take away from the idea of origami and paper engineering. How can we use 100% biodegradable mediums to eradicate the need for wasteful plastics?
