Akira Yoshizawa, Japan's Greatest Origami Master by Akira Yoshizawa Pdf

This collection of projects by the "father of modern origami" contains detailed instructions for 60 of the master's original works. Master origami artist Akira Yoshizawa was a true innovator who played a seminal role in the rebirth of origami in the modern world. He served as a bridge between past and present—between the ancient traditional craft and the development of origami as a modern practice—in terms of inventing new techniques and in preserving the traditional Japanese forms. In fact, the notational system of diagrams widely used today to indicate how models are folded was largely invented by him. Above all, Yoshizawa was responsible for elevating origami to the status of an art form. This beautiful origami book is the first comprehensive survey of the extraordinary work of Akira Yoshizawa. In addition to 60 models from his private collection, it features over 1,000 original drawings by the artist, and English translations of his writings in Japanese on origami, all of which are published here for the very first time. Origami projects include: The Koinobori and the Helmet Butterflies of Every Kind Fairy Tale Crowns and Caps The Lion Mask The Tengu Masks and many more! Akira Yoshizawa also contains an explanation of the Master's personal philosophy of origami by Yoshizawa's widow, Kiyo Yoshizawa and an insightful introduction from Robert Lang, a leading artist and exponent of origami art in the West.

Origami d'exception by Akira Yoshizawa Pdf

Un remarquable ouvrage consacré à Akira Yoshizawa, le plus grand représentant de l'origami moderne, ce recueil illustrant à merveille son extraordinaire production. Brillant innovateur à l'origine d'une véritable " renaissance " de cette discipline, Yoshizawa fait office de trait d'union entre passé et présent, entre tradition et modernité, qu'il s'agisse de la technique ou de la conception même de l'origami, au sens de pur acte créatif. La reproduction des diagrammes originaux de l'artiste, le profond respect du système de codification élaboré par ses soins et le souci de préserver l'esprit originel du texte japonais grâce à une traduction attentive aux moindres nuances de la langue marquent ce livre au sceau d'une fidélité absolue à la philosophie du Maître. L'ouvrage s'enrichit également de sections initialement conçues par Yoshizawa pour familiariser les enfants japonais avec l'origami, où l'auteur les incite à laisser libre cours à leur imagination. Les photos des modèles, hormis celles d'époque, ont toutes été prises spécialement par Kazuo Hamada, photographe d'art confirmé. La préface signée par l'épouse du Maître et une longue introduction de l'éminent origamiste Robert J. Lang évoquent l'approche spécifique de l'artiste à l'égard de cet art antique, en jetant une lumière nouvelle sur l'oeuvre de Yoshizawa et sa signification.

New Expressions in Origami Art by Meher McArthur Pdf

This origami art book features the work of 25 contemporary master folders who are among the most innovative origami artists working today. They are pushing the boundaries of origami vigorously in new directions in terms of style, scale, materials, subject and scope. This elite group includes: Joel Cooper Erik Demaine and Martin Demaine Paul Jackson Beth Johnson Michael G. LaFosse and Richard L. Alexander Robert J. Lang Linda Mihara Bernie Peyton Richard Sweeney And many more… The stunning photos and brilliant essays in this book demonstrate why origami is now an international art movement—largely through the efforts and artistic genius of a few contemporary masters. The trailblazing efforts of Japanese artist Akira Yoshizawa elevated the paper folding to an art form by showing how subtle shapes and figures could be created from a single sheet of paper though a variety of non-traditional folding techniques. Artists in other parts of the world—including the United States, France, England, China and Scandinavia—took Yoshizawa's cue and pushed these techniques further and further. The result has been the emergence of many new and surprising sculptural forms created through techniques such as wet folding, curved creasing, tessellating and the application of alternative materials besides paper.

Visions of DNA Nanotechnology at 40 for the Next 40 by Nataša Jonoska,Erik Winfree Pdf

This open access book provides a unique and state-of-the-art view on DNA nanotechnology with an eye toward future developments. Intended as a tribute to Nadrian C. Seeman, who founded the field of DNA nanotechnology, the content is an exciting mixture of technical and non-technical material, reviews, tutorials, perspectives, new findings, and open questions. The book aims to inspire current researchers to sit back and think about the big picture, while also enticing new researchers to enter the field. Most of all, the book captures voices from a unique moment in time: 40 years after the publication of the first paper that envisioned DNA nanotechnology. From this vantage point, what are the untold stories, the unspoken concerns, the underlying fundamental issues, the overlooked opportunities, and the unifying grand challenges? What will help us see more clearly, see more creatively, or see farther? What is transpiring right now that could pave the way for the future? To address these questions, leading researchers have contributed 22 chapters, grouped into five sections: perspectives, chemistry and physics, structures, biochemical circuits, and spatial systems. This book will be an important reference point in the field of DNA nanotechnology, both for established researchers looking to take stock of the field and its future, and for newcomers such as graduate students and researchers in other fields who are beginning to appreciate the power and applicability of its methods.
