Five Intersecting Tetrahedron Origami

A tetrahedron has a pyramid shape. If five tetrahedra are intersected, a polyhedron is created that is similar in shape to those found in the art of M. C. Escher. This glue-less origami tetrahedron construction was built by Crackpot Papercraft using instructions provided on Thomas Hull's Origami Mathematics website. The tetrahedron origami units used to construct the polyhedron were originally developed by Francis Ow Mun Yin.
