The construction of polyhedra using identical building blocks. The illustrations above show such constructions for the cuboctahedron, octahedron rhombic dodecahedron, and ...

The Johnson solids are the convex polyhedra having regular faces and equal edge lengths (with the exception of the completely regular Platonic solids, the "semiregular" ...

A chamfered octahedron, which could also know known as a tritruncated rhombic dodecahedron, is a polyhedron obtained by chamfering a regular octahedron. The illustration ...

A plesiohedron is the Voronoi cell of a so-called symmetric Delone set. Plesiohedra are space-filling polyhedra which have special symmetries that take any copy of the ...

"Escher's solid" is the solid illustrated on the right pedestal in M. C. Escher's Waterfall woodcut (Bool et al. 1982, p. 323). It is obtained by augmenting a rhombic ...

There are a number of attractive cube 25-compounds. One can be constructed from the vertices of the second dodecahedron 6-compound (or second tetrahedron 50-compound) and ...

The uniform polyhedra are polyhedra consisting of regular (possibly polygrammic) faces of equal edge length whose polyhedron vertices are all symmetrically equivalent. The ...

The polyhedron compound of the great icosahedron (U_(53)) and the small stellated dodecahedron (U_(34)), sometimes known as the great cid. Four faces meet at each edge of the ...

The rhombic dodecahedral graph is the Archimedean dual graph which is the skeleton of the rhombic dodecahedron (as well as the Bilinski dodecahedron). It is the Levi graph of ...

The Cairo tessellation is a tessellation appearing in the streets of Cairo and in many Islamic decorations. Its tiles are obtained by projection of a dodecahedron, and it is ...
