A Zome Construction, Mostly of Rhombi

Posted on 15 December 2022 by RobertLovesPi

The yellow figure is a rhombic dodecahedron, and the red pieces form six rhombi which intersect the faces of the yellow figure. There are also hypershort red struts connecting the red rhombi to each other. It’s not exactly a polyhedron, but I had fun making it. I built it using Zome, which you can buy for yourself at http://www.zometool.com.
