In response to a discussion started by AK_Brickster on www.classic-castle.com, I've been inspired to reimagine modular terrain standards like base8 and the Classic-Castle City standard. Here are some shots of a road I've built with some ideas of my own.

These models were displayed in the "Surface to Structure: Folded Forms" origami exhibit at The Cooper Union in New York City.

3 modular builds for coffee, pizza and ice-cream. I guess it is time for something cold. All builds have the same Basic structure but difference is in the detail. The back alley can me lighted up and the pizza oven burns. Although the most popular business, it seems to be a coverup for something shady.
60° Origami Modular (Maria Sinayskaya)
rectangles 1:√3, 5 units, no glue
Shorter rectangles can also be used:
Exterior of adobe complexes at Taos Pueblo in New Mexico (circa 1000 - 1450). Houses finished with stucco façade over adobe bricks (earth, straws, water).
Sight of a home located on the side of Hlaukkwima (South House), opposite of the Hlaauma across from the Red Willow Creek.

Tried same construction method with different rectangles.
New for 2017, Octan unveils its long-awaited nostalgia racing team featuring its all-new modular gasser chassis. While the cars carry no "offical" Octan logos or other branding, the paint scheme leaves no doubt who is unofficially sponsoring this team of young engineers and builders who concidentally all work together at said company. The fleet consists of the original pilot car, a 1955 Chevy; a mid-sixties compact Station Wagon of undetermined make, and a late-forties Ford coupe. The 55 and wagon feature flip-up front ends while the Ford simply needs nothing more than the hood removed. While these cars are not street legal in their race trim, there have been unconfirmed sightings of them at the late-night street races that absolutely never take place on Bricksburg's industrial West Side neighborhood on the first and third tuesdays of every month.
------------------------------------
I'd like to introduce the new modular gasser chassis that is the second in line with the modular hot rod chassis I debuted this time last year. The new gasser chassis features great flexibility to accomodate many different body styles as seen here. Wheelbase and ride height are adjustable in several ways yet they all share common mounting points. As with the hot rod chassis, wheels and engines are easily changed. The front frame clip can easily accomodate either fixed or flip-up front ends.The chassis is low enough that bodies can easily be configured to fit minifigs as these models all do. As a final note, the 55 Chevy is an update of a former build. Can you spot all the changes?
Thanks for looking, I hope you enjoy these as much as I did building them.
Modular Origami Ring (Maria Sinayskaya)
//or is it a coaster? I'm never sure//
rectangles 1:√3, 6 units, no glue
The model has a nice non-sliding-out lock - which will be tricky to diagram, if it ever comes to that.
60° Origami Modulars (Maria Sinayskaya)
rectangles 1:2 (the central one), 2:3 (two small ones), no glue
Some shorter/longer rectangles will work too with this folding sequence.
LEGO modular post office.
6455 parts.

This was one of the most challenging facades I ever built, but I‘m quite happy how it turned out. Inside you can find also an architect‘s office. This gave me the chance to try some microscale building for the first time.

I designed this with the Parisian Restaurant in mind, but it is made to be totally modular and used with any Modular from Lego or custom built.
The central part of my idea is the park, which in turn can be used as a larger park or two smaller ones, on the likes of the Lego Pet Shop modular.
But there’s more! It can be connected to extra pavements and these can also be used with your modulars, to create squares, make a standard modular look like a corner one, or create your own and unique combination. Did I mention that there's also a colorful mosaic?
There's a bunch of accessories, from a fire hydrant to a comfy bench, and some of them are used to disguise the standard Technic brick used to connect modulars.
And if that was not enough, you will get a lot of accessories to make your city stem to life!
There's a newspaper kiosk, designed to remind the Parisian ones, a crepes rickshaw, a trash trolley, a monumental statue, two wonderfully flowered trees and a big oak tree to give some shade in the park.
And then several other smaller accessories that can be used with this set or all over your modular town.
And, last but not least, there’s 7 minifigs (and a dog) to animate the town!
If you are a Lego Modulars fan, you will want to have all of these in your Lego town.

I've built a series of variant versions of the Prowler APC, using different modules plugged in above the troop compartment. This is the Prowler-E, the engineering variant.
A modular school.
Building instruction is available at: rebrickable.com/users/peedeejay/mocs/
Every city needs a school! The build spans among 3 baseplates and consists of 10 modules. The baseplates can be separated from each other for easy transportation. The complete model weighs about 10kg and has 14417 parts.
The front part contains the main entrance, some trees and a bus stop. The roof areas contain the ventilation units, photovoltaics and the clock.
The ground floor contains the main entrance hall with washrooms for boys and girls. The right wing of the ground floor contains a standard classroom for maths and literature. The left wing of the ground floor contains the music classroom, featuring a piano, drums and some other instruments.
The middle floor contains a cafeteria, where the students can get a quick bite and some refreshments. The left wing of the middle floor contains an IT-classroom and it seems the students are well stocked on mobile devices. The right wing of the middle floor contains the science classroom. At the moment some experiments are ongoing in the chemistry class.
The upper floor contains the library.
Well I can't remember how to make Flickr put photos in the order I want, which is annoying. Anyway check through the next four or five photos to see how this is expandable. I've got 8 x 16 internals now, but it can be easily expanded to an arbitrary size using 16 x 16 plates or 8 x 16 plates.

Interior of the bank with over-the-top Nouveau sconces. On the right behind the tellers you would normally see a row of safes and a security door in position when the building is fully assembled.
This modularity means that you can build a huge variety of keeps- part of the goal here is that if you want, just by buying multiple copies of this set you could easily create your own theme, complete with wizards towers, palaces, fortresses and who knows what else!

Modular Origami Star (Maria Sinayskaya)
squares, 8 units, no glue
Found how to add more points to this star:
For the STG (Starfighter Telephone Game). Though I am still not sure who this should ship to, and we are ironing that out, I wanted to post the images.
The goal was to make it modular like the original Blacktron line and this build is exactly what I hoped it would be when I signed up for this round like three years ago. Lol.
It has ten different, completely interchangeable modules, which can combine in a ridiculously high number of ways.
I am extremely proud of this build and it will be very difficult to part with, but I believe whoever ends up with it will be very very pleased.
Modular Origami Star (Maria Sinayskaya)
rectangles (2:sqrt3), 6 units, no glue
The star looks the same on both sides.
Nice pattern in the middle, but I'm not entirely happy with the layer distribution, the points are a bit too thick.
Modular Origami Star (Maria Sinayskaya)
squares, 6 units, no glue
Remember those how-many-triangles-can-you-see quizzes? :)
The front facade is pretty much unchanged from the set, only set on a standard baseplate according to modular specs, and extended by one additional floor.
My modular flower made from Peter Keller's origami paper (colour scheme "Herbst", Pack Autumn/Fall at etsy).
Peter Keller asked me to test his new paper for modular origami. Sheets are 5*5 cm. It is a bit small for me. I prefer size larger than 7*7 cm for my kusudamas from squares. However, this paper is very well suited to modular flowers or modular stars. For starters, I have chosen flowers.
The paper folds very well and has no damage on the creases.
