7) What is Modular Origami ?

   Modular Origami is an origami technique that can be used to create interesting and impressive origami artworks of mathematical figures, such as polyhedrons. It generally involves a two-stage paper-folding technique which requires multiple sheets of paper. In the first stage, each sheet of paper is folded into a module. In the second stage, the numerous modules are assembled into a three-dimensional structure, and a polyhedral shape can be created. Many intricate artworks can be made from simple modules.
