Rives: Paper engineering gone wild

inktalks.com Reputed for his standing ovations at the TED conferences, Rives is easily a wizard with words. He is funny, and he is clever. In this beautifully crafted verbal thrill, he shows us how precious paper can truly be. For Rives it is the combination of math and magic that gets him charged about the craft and the art of paper engineering. No plug in, just play. The result: a sheer origami delight that's a pleasure to watch.

Brilliant concepts and use of paper engineering. Thinking inside the cube box interactive! Great creative and fresh mind Mr. Rives and a good story teller too.

[@Koribaby1]

Rives worked on A Bug's Life and that pleases me so much. AND invented a new way of paper engineering. And is just a brilliant poet and storyteller and person. I stan. Hard. Plus, his laugh lines make me so happy. Also, I want that advent calendar and that baby book. The book I found easily and cheaply. That advent calendar cost quite a pretty penny.
