Explore: Polyhedra In Art

directly influenced art with conceptual tools such as linear perspective, the analysis of symmetry, and mathematical objects such as polyhedra and the Möbius

In geometry, a polyhedron (pl.: polyhedra or polyhedrons; from Greek πολύ (poly-)  'many' and ἕδρον (-hedron)  'base, seat') is a three-dimensional figure

In geometry, a Kepler–Poinsot polyhedron is any of four regular star polyhedra. They may be obtained by stellating the regular convex dodecahedron and

the same number of faces meet at each vertex. There are only five such polyhedra: a tetrahedron (four faces), a cube (six faces), an octahedron (eight

regular polyhedra (the Platonic solids), and four regular star polyhedra (the Kepler–Poinsot polyhedra), making nine regular polyhedra in all. In addition

(star) Kepler–Poinsot polyhedra – form dual pairs, where the regular tetrahedron is self-dual. The dual of an isogonal polyhedron (one in which any two vertices

are a useful aid to the study of polyhedra and solid geometry in general, as they allow for physical models of polyhedra to be constructed from material
