Origami by Robert J. LangView photographs of Robert Lang's stunning origami sculptures. ( All images copyright 2004 Robert J. Lang, Used with permission)
Since he was a small boy, Robert Lang has been taking single sheets of paper and transforming them through a myriad of different folds into figures, buildings -- entire creatures. Lang's interest in origami led him to search out the mathematical underpinnings of his art. He became a laser physicist and an engineer. But three years ago Lang made an unusual career change for a scientist. He left his day job and became a full time origami artist. He's now considered one of the world's leading masters.
