Stellations of the Rhombic Triacontahedron - Modular Origami

Coming Soon - due June 2026 - Prepublication Price Now On!

Origami experts know that understanding shape and geometry is vital. But building many beautiful complex shapes is not a simple matter. Mathematics at school or college rarely prepares us for such a practical task.

Fergus Currie's new book of models of advanced modular origami has full instructions and diagrams on how to make elegant, beautiful and practical models based on the Stellations of the Rhombic Triacontahedron, the RTC. You'll build:

Part One - Models Using Square Paper

• The Rhombic Triacontahedron
• RTC S1
• RTC S13, The Medial Rhombic Triacontahedron
• RTC S8
• RTC S25
• RTC S45
• RTC S92, The Rhombic Hexacontahedron

Part Two - Models Using Irregular Paper Sizes

• RTC S85
• RTC S5
• RTC S27
• RTC S9, The Compound of Five Cubes
• RTC S105

It also includes an introduction with sections on the mathematics behind the models; a short history of modular origami; a section on tools and folding techniques, and a gallery of the finished models that are presented in the book.

Constructing such complex origami structures is not easy. Tarquin has over 50 years experience of papercraft, origami and mathematics for young and old. In full colour, the book is practical and systematic - the results you will achieve are stunning.

With Fergus Currie's clear instructions, exploring these complex polyhedra with modular origami will be a pleasure and looking at the beautiful finished work will make that pleasure a long lasting feeling.
