The 48 regular polyhedra, a lot of lovely geometry from jan Misali (janmisali.tumblr.com) youtube.com/watch?v=_hjRvZ… Thanks to this I realised that this Curvahedra object is the Petrie dual of an icosahedron. I think most of these 48 would have interesting models. Anyone want to have a go?
Akiva Weinberger jan Misali (janmisali.tumblr.com) Curvahedra I already have that one. I think it is the skew mu-octahedron.
jan Misali (janmisali.tumblr.com) Curvahedra Though of course the limit of things lying flat no longer holds so there might* be more like {3,7}. *I do now think there is a proof as to whether it can be extended indefinitely, the number of triangles at a certain distance will grow exponentially with distance.
