sorry I'm late!
one square no cuts
1- the number four
2- write a word in origami, using color change or flaps on a line, or another idea
3- man-made object
Good luck!

Those are some difficult subject for me, way out of my comfort zone.
- For nr3, anything I find that is manmade goes? It's the only subject I could find some ideas for. Btw let's allow for multiple entries.

- What about the nr4? Maybe make if it is a wider subject I can find something, maybe making it any number between 1 and 9?

Please let me know, I'll keep brainstorming in the meanwhile.

-yes
- i mean not makethe number 4 but make smthing w/ 4 sides, appendages, tesselationx4, etc...

[roodborst]

Guess I'll go with "man-made" then. Good luck Malifold.

Finally, a test-fold to show the structure and a possible addition of more steps:



Design details:
Boxpleated, 96x96 grid
50x50 cm square of kraft paper
The 4 stairways run at a 45 degree angle and the sides run at a 60 degree angle
Like a tessellation, one could easily add or remove steps
