ABSTRACT
The first known reference of curved-crease folding is the work of a Bauhaus student in a course by Josef Albers in 1927-1928 [Wingler 69]. This model has creases in concentric circles and a hole in the center. Since the 1930s, Irene Schawinsky, Thoki Yenn, and Kunihiko Kasahara have built similar models with variations on the pleats and the size of the hole [Demaine and Demaine 08]. Other intricate curved-crease origami sculpture was designed by Ronald Resch in the 1970s. From the 1970s to the 1990s, Huffman created hundreds of models, which represent the majority of the work done in this field [Wertheim 04]. Huffman inspired further work on curved creases [Fuchs and Tabachnikov 99] and research on finding the nearest proper folding that approximates a three-dimensional scanned physical model [Kilian et al. 08].
