Description

Explore the world of three-dimensional forms with this unique guide to the Platonic and Archimedean solids. Based on patterns of equally spaced points on a sphere, these polyhedra have been a fundamental of geometric exploration for millennia.

Jon Allen provides step-by-step instructions for constructing models of all the Platonic and Archimedean solids, as well as several other polyhedra and stellated forms. This book is a valuable resource for professionals and artists alike who need to understand the principles behind these shapes.

With careful attention to detail, you'll learn how to create accurate models and draw out the geometry of the paperfold nets. This book is a practical guide that will provide inspiration and guidance for anyone interested in exploring three-dimensional forms.
