NASA has consulted with Lang. Why? Because the mathematics of folding a paper insect are identical to the mathematics of folding a massive telescope lens or a solar array to fit inside a rocket. His algorithms for "rigid origami" (folding stiff materials) help engineers design airbags, stents, and space technology.
by Robert J. Lang is considered the definitive guide to modern origami design. Published originally in 2003, it shifted origami from a craft based on tradition to a scientific art form by revealing the mathematical principles that allow anyone to create original, complex designs.
