The dodecahedron is a Platonic Solid with 12 equilateral pentagonal faces. It has a close relationship with its 20-sided dual, Icosahedron. Mete Tüneri showed the following method of Dodecahedron construction, using only distances, corners of the pentagon, and a visionary equilateral triangle underneath. We’ll construct Dodecahedron, assuming that we’ve drawn an initial equilateral pentagon. We need to find out the pentagon’s angle of 3d rotation. First, put spheres at points a […]

The icosahedron is one of the five Platonic Solids with twenty equilateral triangular faces. Its dual is Dodecahedron, which has pentagonal faces. Here, I explained the construction of the Icosahedron. We won’t lose time with a two-dimensional pentagon drawing. Maybe we’ll discuss that later. So, after creating a regular pentagon, you should find the “tip” point of the Icosahedron by intersecting spheres from at least three of the corner points […]
