Oriental Inspired Protective Shelter

When we were little, whenever someone wanted to say something wise and philosophical, they would usually start with the words: “An old Chinese man once said…” Regardless of how wise the sentence was, it just goes to show how much the west has been, and still is, inspired by Chinese ancient wisdom, but it doesn’t end with wise, beautiful sentences. The practice of Origami, an old Chinese art of folding paper, is now an inspiration to a team of American scientists from the university of Notre Dame in Indiana.
