Paper folding fascination

This series of videos on different paper folding techniques absolutely fascinated me. You can build a great variety of prototypes from paper using these techniques. Different folds give the object different properties, like flexibility or stiffness. My favourite is the crumbling technique, which allows to produce arches and curved forms in no time.
