[Oa] Oblique Origamic Architecture

[Andrew Crawford]

Howdy,

It definitely looks like a promising approach.  Thank you for sharing your 
images and notes.

The radial design makes me think of fantasy architecture from a children's 
show or, perhaps, one of Antonio Gaudi's designs.  There is probably a lot 
of potential for abstract designs, too.

It seems like using oblique angles for OA may be very similar to 
establishing vanishing point in a perspective drawing.

I was noticing that some of the abstract designs by Ingrid (Siliakus) also 
incorporate oblique folds.
