Iso-Area Square Pattern 2: Backlit
This second iso-area square pattern is composed of identical "modules" as this first one:

I made this as an exercise to show how assembling the same elements differently can result in a completely different tessellation. To see how the structure is different, see the crease patterns here:

This formation of connecting the same elements consumes less paper for the same number of iterations, yet has the same amount of paper tied into it's pleats. Therefore it is also a more dense tessellation. This tess also has the property of being easily pulled loose, as seen here:
