Modular Origami Flower (Maria Sinayskaya)
squares, 5 units, no glue
As it turned out there is a flower by Michael LaFosse which is similar but not quite the same:)
Paper: 10 cm DC
Modules: 4
Model: Tomoko Fuse
Book: Spiral: Origami | Art | Design p. 139-142
A nice model, but the paper was too thick to finish the spiral nicely (or too small as you wish 😉)
Edit: Replaced photo with a better one.
60° Origami Modulars (Maria Sinayskaya)
rectangles (1:√3), 5 units, no glue
Simple but not very paper effective.
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.
A Modular Art Deco lego 1920's / 1930's style Department store loosely based on an Egyptial theme of the time. Many of these buildings still exsist (Although many are sadly in disrepair) throughout the UK and have seen many examples online from the USA, Austrailia and NZ.
In the UK these faience style buildings were built in the 20/30s by names such as Woolworths, Burtons the tailors, M & S and the Co-operative just to name a few.
I finished the exterior of the building before building the corner bank but have now just got round to doing the interior.
It is on 3 floors and completely modular.
The ground floor has fine furniture. The first floor has ladies perfumes and cosmetics and the top floor is a toy department.
The is also a delivery vehicle.
Apologies for the quality of some of the pictures. I have a poor camerphone and the walls do not reflect light well.
Comments welcome!

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.

Modular Origami Stars (Maria Sinayskaya)
squares, 6 units, no glue
Well, probably not my best folding - test versions)
Celebrating my 9th piece of modern architecture in the archiBRICKture series, the modular LEGO Store is a colorful and clean building where both adults and kids will find all the joy with the LEGO bricks!
The design rips off all colors except on the front door, above where you can find all the different colors of LEGO bricks, the signature of this brand. Next to the door is the giant wooden sculpture of minifigure, and people will have no difficulty to locate the store!
The new building introduces different curves and round corners to soften the block massing, giving the facade a subtle but interesting look. The curves also go around the facade cut-out for the minifigure statue and the glass wall behind it, which allows sunlight to enter the shop.
There are 3 floors and a rooftop. Inside, you can find all the popular box sets including the latest ones, a Pick-A-Brick corner, a children play area and a LEGO factory machine display. On the rooftop, you can have some refreshments, or share ideas if there is any MOC event.
So now you have a new place to haunt, what are you waiting for?
Paper: 15 cm
Modules: 4
Model: Tomoko Fuse
Book: Spiral: Origami | Art | Design p. 139-142
I wanted to redo this, as the paper for my first one was a bit too thick. Hence larger, thiner paper. Two sheets were a pink to violet and blue fading Harmony paper.

This modular origami model is made with a module which is so old no one knows the creator's name any longer. This temari was created with 480 modules, made from note cube paper cut to 1.75 inches by 3.5 inches. Keep the ratio 1:2. The diagrams are in "3D Origami Step-by-Step Illustrations" by Japan Publications
"Root of Tree" modular origami version (fractal binary tree)
design: Alessandro Beber feat. Serena Cicalò and Alessandra Lamio, Oct. 2019
fold: Serena Cicalò, Oct. 2019
paper: several 1:√3 rectangles of glassine paper, various multiple sizes, connected without glue.

After I designed a single-sheet kirigami of the same subject, I tried working on a "pure" origami, modular version, in order to submit it to the last CDO @origamicdo origami design contest, themed "square root of three".
It could not have been completed in time without the help and support of @serena.menger and @alelamio , and it was therefore presented as a group project. In particular, Serena worked out a better solution for connecting the units, and she folded and assembled plenty of them!
A little modular building or you.
A two-story book store, tool shop, studio apartment, and two-story condo. It comes in just over 3,000 pieces. And as with all modular, it has its own play story. I will be working to make instructions for Rebrickable.
A book store serves as the cover for two spies. They live above the book store in a studio-apartment. But is the tool store owner innocent in this crime?
Features include:
-Three separating floors (with roof)
-An open two-story books store
-Hidden rotating wall
-Sliding ladder
-Spiral stair case
-Multiple hidden compartments
-Working fire escape
-Murphy bed

Ideally, I'd have printed some stickers to put on these boxes, but for now, they only represent different themes - among others, there are Duplo, Friends, Chima, NinjaGo, City, Technic, and Architecture boxes here. There's also a LUG showcase display with a tiny robot model in it.

If there were a hotel on the Moon, what would it look like ? You get to decide with the Modular Moon Hotel !
The model is made of 8 layers, that you can arrange the way you want ! To assemble the Hotel, simly slide each floor on the two Technic axles. You can also use longer Technic axles and create your own floors to make an even bigger hotel !
It also features a miniature rendition of my flying taxi.
You can see the 3D model on Mecabricks : www.mecabricks.com/en/models/eDa5nYm32zg
This model was built for the Exploring the Cosmos Challenge on LEGO Ideas. You can see my entry here : ideas.lego.com/s/ca:8b0f140c18694d47ba0bb2348b48d27a

I always wanted to try making a modular using 1x2 plates in mixed colours, but have never had enough plates in the right colours to do a full size modular building. Then I saw the LEGO Ideas contest to celebrate 90 years of TLG and the idea formed to try and do a midi-scale version (somewhere between minifigure and micro scale). The base for this build is 8x16 studs, so it is one-quarter of the baseplate used for a standard 16-stud wide modular building.
It is modular as the floors come apart. However, the way I did the windows for this version means that it's not so pretty on the inside.
I would love to do a row of townhouses like this in different colours. Once I can accumulate a few more plates!
PS: Sarah Beyer (@betweenbrickwalls) has mastered the use of mixed plates in her gorgeous buildings, but I want to also do a shout out to Jan M. (@wooootles) whose “Avenue Residences” is one of the first buildings that I recall that used this technique (and which is still one of my all time favourite builds).

A couple of weeks ago, I got my hands on a 1592 Town Square set (Dutch version). I had to restore it a little, and then I got the idea to make a building for my modular street inspired by this set. So this is the result. A corner house, built in the middle ages, the last in its sort, next to the last remaining part of the city walls. Maybe it was the house of the gatekeeper. Today the space behind the gate isn't used as road any more, but houses a little snack corner, where you can eat 'soep en worst' (as in the original 1983 set).
Next to another modular MOC it looks very small, but that is to be expected from a little mediaeval house.
I haven't yet remade the statue and the parade from set 1592.

These stars look exactly like these two (well, from the front), but the unit and the assembly method are quite different:

I still like the first version more. Easier to make and prettier on the reverse.
