Hoang Tien Quyet – Beauty in the simple and
the curved from Vietnam
Interview by Gerardo G.
I had the pleasure of meeting Quyet, known as Ori_Q in Neorigami and other sites,
due to our common interest in photo-diagrams. As I met him, I was fortunate to find
a very warm and friendly person. It was a pleasure to spend time with him, as an
origamist and as a person. His photo-diagrams and models reflect this interpreter of
origami as a great artistic expression.
Besides using the wet-folding technique, I I don't use any particular base for designing,
tend to design models from 22.5 degree as each of my models often has a new base.
bases. I prefer designing 22.5 degree models However, I really like traditional bases, such
as the bird base, water-bomb base, and
especially the fish-base, for their simplicity
and since they’re fun to use. In the future I
hope I can make a series of models using
traditional bases.
Making photo-diagrams is a
pleasure for me. I prefer making
them rather than drawing vector
diagrams, because it involves
different activities that interest
me not only drawing lines. I’m
talking about taking photos,
editing them, and especially,
folding real models. That’s
different from drawing vector
diagrams which just require draft
models. In order to make photo-diagrams The first time I saw photo-diagrams from

it’s usually larger than vector diagrams, so
storing photos is harder and requires more
space from the computer.

Zapping: paying “Halle” a visit
Hello, I am Sergio Guarachi, from Bolivia, and this month it is my turn to edit this section of the
Mini Neo.
Despite not having found an official site where this author displays his models, a special Flickr
group is dedicated to showing folds of various models of his, and here we have a few of them.
He is a marvellous Spanish designer, if you would like to see more of his models folded and
interpreted by Halle’s fans, you can visit:

Did you know...?
The Japanese gained the knowledge of paper making in the 7th century, through Buddhist monks
who arrived from China, via Korea, and the books that they brought with them.
All of this started in the year 538AD, and for their part the Japanese began making paper from the
year 610.
It is thought that it was a monk called Dokyo who brought both the techniques for making paper
and for making dyes, and techniques for painting.
Origami originated in China, but it was taken up much more quickly and strongly in Japan because
of the smaller size of the region.
We can find sophisticated forms of origami in Japan from approximately 1200 years ago. For the
Japanese, the forms had a ceremonial and symbolic function.
