You might have noticed that I added a subtitle below the name of the blog. I'll be sharing a lot more about geometry and nature here in the future. Geometry gets shortchanged so often in school, and I believe that is a great loss. It acts as a language that underlies seemingly disparate fields, from space science to fine art.
Great Dodecahedron |
Inside of Great Dodecahedron Model |
I made this model following instructions in Magnus Wenninger's book, Polyhedron Models. I got the idea for photographing the inside, though, from Alan Holden's Shapes, Space, and Symmetry, which is still in print.
The inside looks like a flower. Such is the beauty of geometry, and it is a very good example of how geometry underlies much of the natural world.
Thanks again for visiting!
