TELOS - Origami: From Hiroshima to NASA: Folding the Future

One square piece of paper, no cuts, no glue. Almost like magic, a crane emerges, or a box, or a caribou. The folder is a Japanese girl with leukemia, a beloved French paper artist, an MIT math professor, a NASA consultant. This is the world of origami, its 2000 year old Chinese origins, its emergence as a symbol of peace, and its contemporary role in art, science, mathematics and space exploration. In this course, we mostly “think” origami and, if you wish, we shall fold a sheet or two. Candice Bradley is a quantitative anthropologist who has been folding paper since 1996.
