Using (rigid) Origami moves only, what is the maximum volume that can be enclosed by a square piece of paper?

This is inspired by this question.
The Question:
What is the maximum volume that can be enclosed by folding a square piece of paper (with side length $ell$) using only (rigid) Origami moves?
Thoughts:
I found this, but it's not very helpful because it doesn't give a specific volume and I can't find the paper it references.
It's not a question I think I can answer myself. I have no formal training in Origami and know very little about it.
I'm guessing the shape is just a cube but I'm not sure how to prove that.
Please help :)

It seems you want a closed (convex?) polyhedron whereas the linked question concerns an open "dish". If so, see Alexander, Dyson, and O'Rourke, "The Foldings of a Square to Convex Polyhedra, 2002.

The ref it pointed to is a book (I've a hard copy of that). In the book, it say the volume is about $0.056$ which is about $60$% of the volume of a unit-area sphere.

that result is for a unit square. i.e. $ell = 1$.

The same result is included in the paper I linked to (Joseph O'Rourke is a coauthor of both), and the paper is freely available via O'Rourke's webpage.

In order to close the question, here is a community wiki answer from the comments.
The ref it pointed to is a book (I've a hard copy of that). In the book, it say the volume is about $0.056$ which is about $60%$ of the volume of a unit-area sphere.

I won't post any answer. Joseph O'Rourke is a user on math.SE. If he ever see this question, he can provide an answer with much more details...

Tagging a general user won't work. The system will only notify the user if he/she has interacted with a page before.
