With no Thursday Night Bloggers meeting tomorrow we will be looking for something to do……

Thursday, Nov. 11 KNOW HOW TO FOLD ‘EM

Sure, origami is exact, but is it a science? You bet. When space engineers need to fold a telescope into a tiny probe, they call an origami wizard like Robert Lang, a former engineer who has invented ways to fold single sheets of paper into an astonishing menagerie of beetles, dinosaurs, and birds — to say nothing of his famous Black Forest Cuckoo Clock. Now a full-time origami artist and pioneer in the field of "origami math," Lang will talk about his work in a lecture on Thursday at the Stata Center, surely Cambridge’s most origami-like building. MIT, Stata Center, Room 123, 32 Vassar St., Cambridge. Call 617-253-2341 for information. At 7 p.m. Free.

    Wow, that’s very impressive architecture. It is the first time I have seen a building like that.

    I am totally an origami fan and have seen one of Robert Lang’s talks on the possibilities of origami. You can check his talk on origami here at http://www.howtodoorigamiblog.com
