Pour ceux qui ne vont pas sur "the List", et sont fans de box-pleating, un site récent rendant hommage au regretté Neal Elias (1921 - 2005). Plieur américain ayant sévi principalement dans les années 60-70, c'est un des tout premier (peut être le premier) à développer le pliage complexe, le "TOUT EN UNE SEULE FEUILLE", à l'époque appelée l'"AGE D'OR DE L'ORIGAMI". Et alors que les plieurs tels que Yoshizawa ou Kawaï pratiquait un origami reposant sur les bases traditionnelles japonaises (oiseau, poisson, grenouille, etc...), a développer la technique historiquement plus occidentale du "BOX-PLEATING".

Pas vu de diagrammes (enfin un site qui n'en proposerait pas ?), mais de jolis photos de modèles réalisées par Neal lui-même, ce que j'ai trouvé émouvant...
La présentation des auteurs :
Well, our site is now ready for public viewing, we think. But first, we would like
to take this opportunity to thank Dave Venables, Dr Robert Lang and Michelle
Buehler - Neal's granddaughter - for taking the time and effort to write forewords
for our joint tribute site despite their busy schedules. Their write-ups about Neal
Elias from different perspectives have given us a much clearer understanding of
the great master. Dave, who besides providing us with useful background info
has also graciously granted us the use fo his photos of Elias and also his photos
of original folds by Elias.
We hope u will enjoy visiting our joint tribute site as much as we have enjoyed
folding the models and getting the site ready for public viewing. Although the
number of Elias designs that we are able to present in our site is still very small,
we hope that this visit will in one way or another increase your interest in his
amazing body of works.
