This origami model is a variant of my Stacked propellers Tessellation. It is named after Laputa, the flying island described in Gulliver’s Travels. I thought this painted paper was a good match for a city in the clouds, and the molecules resemble abstract buildings. Note that the central one is slightly different from others. Each molecule requires a 16×16 grid.
