Book Overview

This is a step by step how-to book for making modular origami models based on polyhedra. It seems like there are myriad modular origami designs out there these days; anything that joins goes. However, in this book, Meenakshi Mukerji's sixth, she still has much more to offer, with the designs presented some of her best yet. After a successful Exquisite Modular Origami, this second volume is a natural follow up. Handpicked by the author, the models are not only beautiful, but have been subjected to rigorous design criteria such as sturdiness of the locking mechanism, easy starting paper proportions, mostly squares, and absence of inserts or separate joining units. The aesthetic appeal lies in clean well defined lines.

The designs are all-new and like before, works of three new, very creative guest artists have been included as well. In grayscale, the book is practically a bargain because it is as effective as folding from a color book. Color photos of most designs are on the cover for your viewing pleasure. Just when you think you are running out of satisfying modular origami to fold, here now you have dozens more exciting new ones to enjoy. Do visit the author's popular website www.origamee.net for more ideas and color photos.

About Meenakshi Mukerji

It has been an amazing journey of 10 years of being published and 20 years of online presence for Meenakshi Mukerji (Adhikari). She was introduced to origami in her early childhood but rediscovered it in its modular form, as an adult, quite by chance in 1995. This newfound mathematical and structural side of modular origami rekindled her passion for the art, and soon after, she started designing and displaying origami on her popular website, currently origamee.net. In 2005, OrigamiUSA noticed Mukerji's work and presented her with the Florence Temko award. In April 2007, her first book Marvelous Modular Origami was published followed in quick succession by six more books including this current one. She has been a featured artist and special guest at many origami conventions both in the USA and abroad. Although known for modular designs, she has published her single sheet works as well. Mukerji regularly contributes to various origami journals, and also participates in exhibitions. She is a member of OrigamiUSA and British Origami Society, and an editor for OrigamiUSA's online magazine, The Fold. Born and raised in Kolkata, India, Mukerji obtained her BS in electrical engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, and a MS in computer science from Portland State University, Oregon. She worked as a software engineer for more than a decade but decided to stay at home in California, devoting her time to family, designing and authoring origami and, of course, spreading the joy of origami.
