Gallery - Modular Origami

Modular origami has never really been my forte, but over the years I have come to appreciate it (and even enjoy it!), particularly alongside my studies in mathematics. This collection is a mixture of “classics” and “oddballs” that I have chanced upon over the years, and I hope it serves as a bit of a reference for those looking to get into modular origami. Models with a (*) incorporate (special) mathematical colourings, and for these I have attached pdfs with the pattern and a basic explanation.
