美国折纸大师彼得恩格尔(Peter Engel) 彼得恩格尔（生于1959年）是一名科学著作作家，美术设计师，建筑师，更是美国最著名的折纸艺术家和理论家之一。
恩格尔在哈佛大学修读历史和科学哲学，在那里他开始认真向Arthur Loeb学习与讲究折纸艺术。1987年，他毕业于哥伦比亚大学，并拿到了建筑学硕士学位。 《Folding the Universe: Origami from Angelfish to Zen》是他的第一本关于折纸的著作。这是一个极不寻常的著作，除了一般的图纸教程外，该书有很多篇章，讲述了折纸艺术的历史和原理。通过探索艺术与科学之间的异同、创新、创作和开拓，恩格尔以他独特眼光，探讨了折纸这门艺术的特性、尤其是纸张受到简单形状和几何图案的先天限制。然而，恩格尔却能突破固有的限制，以无限的创作空间，呈现了许多令人意想不到的超复杂折纸作品！他的作品从包括了别有特色的响尾蛇，迷人的美钞蝴蝶结，和细腻的蝴蝶。这本书也有一段他对日本传奇折纸大师吉泽章所做的采访。 《Folding the Universe: Origami from Angelfish to Zen》在1994年重新出版，命名为《Origami: from Angelfish to Zen》。 恩格尔的第二本著作中是《10-old Origami: Fabulous Paperfolds You can Make in Just 10 Steps!》,于2009年出版。
恩格尔的科学文稿，也时常出现在纽约时报，Discover，和Scientific American
等刊物上。

Peter Engel (born 1959) is a science writer, graphic designer, and architect, perhaps best known as one of the foremost American origami artists and theorists.
Engel studied the history and philosophy of science as an undergraduate at Harvard University, where he began studying origami seriously under design scientist Arthur Loeb. In 1987 he graduated from Columbia University with a master's degree in architecture.
Folding the Universe: Origami from Angelfish to Zen (1989) is his first book on origami. It is a highly unusual origami book in that besides the usual folding instructions, a significant portion was devoted to essays on the history of the craft as well as the theory. By exploring the relationship between art and science, and between creation, invention, and discovery, Engel provides unusual insights on the craft medium which has strict inherent constraints in favouring simple, geometric patterns and yet holds enough creative possibility within it to capture an unexpected range of complex forms. His models range from a unique coiled rattlesnake to a charming dollar bill bow tie to a delicate, detailed butterfly. The book also contains an interview with the legendary Japanese origami artist Akira Yoshizawa.
Folding the Universe was later re-released as Origami from Angelfish to Zen .
10-Fold Origami: Fabulous Paperfolds You Can Make in Just 10 Steps! (2009) is his second book on origami.
Engel's writings on science have appeared in various publications including The New York Times, Discover, and Scientific American.
