This Space Station for Geometricians Has, as Outer Hulls, Twelve Trapezoids, and Six Parallelograms with One Square Window / Docking Port Each

12 Trapezoids -- and six parallelograms with square windowsl

I can’t think of any good reasons for geometricans not to have their own space station, and I know what we’d do there:  we’d work on geometry (also known informally as “playing with shapes”).

My suggestion for this space station’s design was created with Stella 4d, and you may find that program (to try or guy) here:  http://www.software3d.com/Stella.php.
