From paper folding genius Paul Jackson comes his latest book How to Think and Design in the Third Dimension.
We live in a 3-D world, but most three-dimensional objects are designed from a series of two-dimensional side elevations and plan views. This book will teach you how to think and design in the third dimension. Through 60 construction projects, you will learn how folded paper units can be joined to create beautiful 3-D structures, according to the principles of three-dimensional symmetry.
In addition to over 80 specially commissioned photographs and 300 step-by-step illustrations, this accessible book contains QR codes or hyperlinks to 30 short videos that show a selection of the projects rotating through 360 degrees.
With How to Think and Design in the Third Dimension by their side, anyone who creates in three dimensions, including designers of all specialities, sculptors, architects, engineers and craftspeople, will be able to design with a new, practical and infinitely creative language of form.
We live in a 3-D world, but most 3-D objects are designed from a series of 2-D side elevations and 2-D plan views. This book teaches readers how to think and design in the third dimension, by working only in the third dimension. This is achieved through a series of 3-D construction projects which demonstrate how to join together simple folded paper units to create beautiful 3-D structures, according to the principles of 3-D symmetry. With this new understanding, students and professional who create in three dimensions, including designers of all specialities, sculptors, architects, engineers, craftspeople will be able to design with a new, practical and infinitely creative language of form.
In addition to specially commissioned photographs and step-by-step illustrations, the book will be accompanied by 30 videos of 20 seconds duration (accessible by QR codes printed in the book or hyperlinks in the e-book), showing some of the 3-D construction projects rotating through 360 degrees.
