Abstract
There's something very beautiful and elegant about the simple 3D
shapes known as Platonic solids. By actually building these structures,
the mind and body can work together to strengthen our intuition about
them. In this article, I stick with a simple and popular description of
origami: you start with a single sheet of paper, and you're only allowed
to fold it. The only tools allowed are your own fingers-no pencils,
measuring sticks, compasses, and so on. There is one variation. We'll
create most of our models by assembling several different pieces
together. The assembly must not require tape or glue, though for some of
the flimsier models you may want to apply a few dabs of glue here and
there so that the model doesn't completely unravel if you drop it
