An Intermediate Form Between the Cuboctahedron and Its Dual, the Rhombic Dodecahedron

There are many ways to make intermediate forms between dual polyhedra. This was made using the expansion method. The faces of the cuboctahedron (red and blue) were moved outward, as were the green faces of the rhombic dodecahedron, until the meeting of all possible vertices. The yellow rectangles were the spaces created between faces by this expansion.
