Origami is just so relaxing, especially when I'm folding a pattern I know by heart, like this crane. :) And of course, the results are (hopefully) wonderfully beautiful. But to me, origami seems as much a science as an art. Put a square piece of paper through one algorithm, and you'll get a crane. Put it through another, and you'll get a ninja star. Use a triplet of folds here to build a foot, leave a hidden strip and you can make claws. Modular origami is fundamentally built upon mathematics, and may even be
more of a mathematical endeavor than a physical one. Tons of
brilliant people even create new designs through analysis akin to engineering, to the point of being able to
take a stick-figure design and generate a possible folding pattern. Wow.
