Tessellations! In order of appearance:

Spidron, Daniel Kwan || Crease Pattern

RingsFlower7 Op. 685, Robert Lang || Crease Pattern

Davidic Resch 1 Op. 692, Robert Lang || Crease Pattern

Spiral Huffman Cone, Philip Chapman-Bell || Crease Pattern

those in the group photo not already mentioned are (LTR/TTB):

Unnamed Rotational Tiling (1978), David Huffman || Crease Pattern from fig. 5

Cone Three-Way, Robert Lang || Crease Pattern

Waterbomb Tessellation, Resch/Huffman? || Instructions

Waterbomb w/ spacings, Ekaterina Lukasheva || Crease Pattern

no info about paper size or anything because hardly any of it’s from squares or even regular polygons ! pretty much had to use scorer for these - bunch of them have curved folds anyway

anything not white is painted. the sheet music is my own music.

the instructions for waterbomb cite Eric Gjerde for the tess but I doubt that? Maybe it’s just cuz he wrote the book it’s from, but it’s an old like old old tessellation. Lukasheva says Resch/Huffman designed it which makes sense because those two are like the OG tessellators

The Vegreville Pysanka

In the town of Vegreville, in Alberta, Canada is "The World's Largest Easter Egg", an amazing work by Ron Resch completed in 1975 and dedicated in 1976.  The anodized aluminum skin is designed in the pattern of a 'pysanka', a traditional Ukranian Easter Egg.

Ron Resch (Ronald Dale Resch, 1939 - 2009 ) was an artist, computer scientist, and applied geometrist, known for his work involving folding paper, Origami Tessellations and 3D polyhedrons.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]

Resch studied art at the University of Iowa receiving his Master of Fine Arts, and went on to become a professor of Computer Science at the University of Utah.[8]

He famously designed the Vegreville egg, the first physical structure designed entirely with computer-aided geometric modelling software.

I've been researching Star Trek: The Motion Picture for an upcoming podcast, and found out about Ron Resch, who designed the oddly articulated hexagonal orifice that lets the Enterprise enter V'ger. The fascinating documentary about his work, above, makes me wonder why more of his 3D structural advances haven't entered the mainstream by now.
