| Irregular Assembly Designs |

| Most
modular designs are assembled in a regular way, that is
to say that the set or sets of modules of which the
design is composed all go together in the same
orientation using the same assembly method. There are,
however, a few modular designs, in which the modules go
together in an irregular way. |

Name: The Unconventional
Cube - a stable cube made from modules
created in just three folds and assembled in an
irregular way using two different assembly
methods. Modules / Paper shape / Folding
geometry: 6 modules from squares using standard
folding geometry. The modules are identical to
those of the 3-Fold Paul Jackson Cube.

Name: Eccentricity
- a modular assembly puzzle in which six
assymetric modules must be assembled to produce
an eccentric cube. To solve the puzzle the
modules must be assembled in an irregular way
using two different assembly methods. Modules / Paper
shape / Folding geometry: 6 modules from squares
using standard folding geometry.
Designer /
Date: David Mitchell, 2002.
Diagrams:
On-line diagrams, and one possible solution, are
available on the Puzzles page of this site.

Name: The Butterfly
Tetracube Modules / Paper shape / Folding
geometry: 4 modules from squares using standard
folding geometry. The modules which are first
combined in pairs then woven together to create
the form. There are two ways to connect a pair of
modules. The weave will only work if the two
pairs of modules are connected in different ways.
