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.

Made a while ago.
Torture-themed candy store and a movie theater. Build to Cafe Corner standard, together making a 32x32 baseplate.
Yellow car is a System-scaled 4939 Cool Cars. Has since been re-vamped to suck less.

Daša kindly shared the diagram of this cuboctahedron with dimples. I started my Origami enthusiasm with Tomoko Fuse models like this, so gave it a try. Tant worked well for the not so easy assembly of the last unit. I could hold the whole model in one hand, holding everything in place while fiddling the last unit in. Afterwards, as often with models with a cubic symmetry, everything is perfectly stable.
A modular school.

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.
Modular Origami Star

Units: 10
Paper: 3.53*5 cm, 3*4.25 cm
Final size: ~ 7.5 cm, ~ 6.5 cm
Joint: no glue
Here is another section of modular terrain. This time I chose to do a stream, since water is one of the areas where I think modular terrain standards could benefit from an update.
Here are the two modules connected together. I intentionally built the second without looking at the first, and remarkably enough they look pretty good when connected. If this were for a real MOC or display, I would add a rock or two to the road and a few more bits of grass to the river to blend the edges, but even as-is I'm pretty happy with how they connect.
Modular Star (Maria Sinayskaya)
squares, 20 units, no glue
When I started folding it I was sure it was going to be a 16-pointed star. But somewhere closer to the end it became clear that I'll actually need 20 units! So I had to add 4 more from different paper.
That's how I ended up with my first - and the last - 20-pointed star:) Unless I make something by mistake again.

This is made from 12 pieces of square colored papers. Its a very easy one and fun to do as well.

Made for the Modular Madness contest on Eurobricks.
I came up with the variation on the left after a student in a class came up with yet another variation (not shown here). The original design is mine.
Hasbro - Star Wars Modular Cantina
Cantina pieces released as accessories to Walmart 2-Packs and K-Mart 3-Packs
The back has a modern looking expansion to the building.

Following the standards commonly used for LEGO® modular buildings, the Police Station is a modular building in a 32-stud-wide format with 4 distinct sections.
- Ground Floor featuring payphones, a large desk, waiting area, and holding cell.
- Main Floor featuring the many desks of the precinct's detectives, file storage, a bathroom and a caged armory.
- Top Floor featuring the chief's office, an evidence room, and crime lab.
- Roof featuring communication equipment and the station's air conditioner.

Paper: Kraft
Unit size: Rectangle

Modular S-curve. For a complete 3x6 baseplate table: add a row of three blank baseplates to the top to give the left half; rotate by 180 deg and add a row of three blank baseplates to the bottom to give the right half. This table will need to be mirrored to make a modular set that is compliant with the standard.
For those interested, the "inner" curve is ~R200 and the "outer" curve is ~R216. At 1:45 scale, these correspond to curve radii of 72.0 m and 77.76 m, respectively. For comparison, on VR broad gauge the minimum radius is 160 m. On the North American rail network, the absolute minimum radius (87.8 m) (according to Wikipedia).

Tree Houses for Swamp Dwellers
consisting of ten modular objects that read and function both as trees and as houses, Julia Morison’s work can be engaged with and explored on many levels.
The work incorporates light and plant forms, and creates spaces within itself for reflection and play. This significant legacy piece will remain as a permanent, re-locatable work in Christchurch City.

When folding Dášas modular cuboctahedron www.instagram.com/p/BVmH4aqDb9D I realised that the principle could be generalised to other polygons instead of squares. First idea: pentagons to fold a dimpled Icosidodecahdron, but this won't work without glue as there's no locking involved on the units. So I did only fold one unit as a proof of concept
Next: triangles! This worked with the following: a dimpled cuboctagedron again, dimpling the squares this time. As the dimples are tetrahedral this is a polygon with a name, the octahemioctahedron, consisting of 8 triangles and 4 hexagons, where the later intersect each other... a uniform star polyhedron. Ah, I just love geometry! As it is a hemihedron, that is the faces pass through the center, assembly is a bit tight as in the center theres all units meeting in one point. Nonetheless its decently stable and needs no glue.

MOC: Modular LEGO Store. Based on the LEGO Brand Retail Store set that has been used as a giveaway at store openings over the past couple of years, but blown up to minifig scale.
And yes, I know that the original set isn't a corner building, but I just hadn't built one yet and needed one for a layout I was working on :)
