In Japan, every pupil learns origami: a square sheet of paper is shaped into a frog or a lotus flower. No cuts, no glue - just folds. But in the last twenty years, this ancient art of folding has gone through a high-speed evolution with an impact in almost every corner of our society.
At first for fun, mathematicians and computer scientists embraced this field and produced sophisticated, seemingly impossible models. A black forest cuckoo or the Paris cathedral - all made from just one sheet of paper. These origami freaks eventually discovered that with origami they could fold anything, create any 3D object, providing the sheet of paper was large enough. Looking at these developments, biologists wondered whether origami wouldn’t be in fact an attempt to imitate nature. And indeed, everything that develops and changes in nature is folded: mountains, blossoms, the brain… Life is an unending series of folding and unfolding. It’s the most economical and efficient process in the natural world. And it is not only design. Folding determines also function.
Today researchers in robotics, medicine, biology, nanotechnologies, are embracing this “origami philosophy”. They are looking at how materials and molecules wrinkle, drape, flex and crease, refining origami techniques, and trying better to understand and duplicate nature’s universal folding principles. The Origami Code explores this silent deciphering and mastering of a completely new dimension of reality. The film explores how the ancient art of folding paper has entered the cutting-edge domains of research and now could lead the way to the ultimate stage in bionics.

This documentary is a must watch for everyone, especially in school or university. Folding design needs to be applied more widely

[@kummer45]

Parametric architecture was born. Japan, thank you.

Aa high school math teacher, I stressed paper folding. (For example, the book "Patty Paper Geometry" has many great activities.) I was SHOCKED by the cluelessness of many students about even simple paper folding! They got confused very easily. I think paper folding needs to be part of the elementary school curriculum. It's fun and an artform! Even making a cootie catcher with memory items to study for a test is fun.

That spider ....wow!

In this is the promise of the raw power of geometry. Ever since the industrial revolution, we have only just scratched the surface of geometry because we have always had abundant and cheap fossil fuel energy to throw at a problem. As fossil fuels diminish, we will finally be coerced into utilizing the same properties that nature does, to survive. I see in the mathematics of paper folding, our unfolding future...

[@Jd-ace]

we're bound to this origami plane of existence , we're all in the folds....

[@ekbergiw]

I think this is my third or fourth time watching this 😄 it was on nebula for a while

[@LS-kg6my]

This is so mind blowing.

[@annakonda6727]

Fascinating!

[@lalasampritray375]

14:30 The guys last name is Floderer??

[@segment932]

This documentary is at least 10 years old.

[@user-kc3io9hq9e]

I find it hilarious that some of these pictures keeps getting recycled after 20+ years and playing it off. As if This is brand new technology.

[@evdm7482]

What, we just discovered folding, you’re telling me nature has been doing it for 20 + years?! Crazzzzzzy

[@dohminkonoha3200]

Origami goes to beyond stars.

[@TheGrimshaw]

This origami reminds me so much of the movie Transformers.

You’ve figured it all out! 🧐

The probability of humans understanding the complexity of the universe, from a single point in the universe, cool bro 👍🤟🫴🤙🖖

[@Emelineeeeeee]

I guess they’re making AI generated docs now 😢

[@vaisakhkm783]

wait, what?? ya i too got confused when i saw planning to launch in 2020 45:45

[@evdm7482]

It’s old, the license expired so now it can be aired on KZbin, you tube. AI is way ahead of this, you noob.

[@antiposeur6]

First one was perforated, fake

[@dallase3634]

You cheated you did not do that with out a computer

[@willboudreau1187]

Delightful to watch Japanese school children learning origami instead of gender bending. Maybe western civilization is safe only outside western civilization?

[@Bilangumus]

I was thinking the same, imagine an entire generation trained with origami knowledge.
