Jeannine Mosely’s Business-Card Origami Model of Union Station

Jeannine Mosely has created the world’s largest business-card origami structure ever: a model of Worcester’s Union Station. It has even more cards in it than her order-3 Menger’s Sponge.

The basic work of making modules was done by many kids in many public school classes in Worcester, who had a lot of fun doing it, under Jeannine’s supervision. Many people helped her with the final assembly.

There’s a very nice web site about the project. My family braved the wind and snow yesterday to drive out to the Worcester Art Museum and see it. Up to the last day, Jeannine was worried that it wouldn’t be finished in time for the First Night (New Year’s Eve) celebration, but she got it all done. (Technically, there’s a bit more to do but it certainly looks finished.) It was a huge amount of work!

Here are the photos I took.

To help the builders remember how to do all the steps, Jeannine and I made two videos: Part 1 and Part 2.

Congratulations, Jenny!

    Jenny says that the model has a permanent home at the Worcester Airport. So, look for it the next time you fly in!
