Who designed the complex origami Centipede?
The origami Centipede was designed by Brian Chan, an origami artist and MIT graduate known for his highly complex, mathematically inspired models. His centipede features dozens of perfectly aligned legs and body segments.
How long does it take to fold Brian Chan's Centipede?
Because of the massive number of identical segments that must be folded and shaped, completing the Centipede can take a highly experienced folder many hours or even days. The model requires extreme precision to ensure the legs interlock without tearing.
What is the base for Brian Chan's Centipede?
The model is built using a highly complex "box-pleated" base, a technique popularized by origami masters like Robert Lang and Toshikazu Kawasaki. This base allows the artist to branch out dozens of flaps of equal length for the centipede's legs.
What kind of paper should be used for Brian Chan's Centipede?
Folders usually prefer large sheets of thin, durable paper, such as loci paper or tracing paper backed with foil. Because the centipede has so many overlapping layers, bulky paper will result in a model that is too thick to fold the smaller leg segments properly.
