stellated

In geometry, the excavated dodecahedron is a star polyhedron that looks like a dodecahedron with concave pentagonal pyramids in place of its faces. In this short tutorial video, I am modeling an excavated dodecahedron in the Rhinoceros software. I use basic drawing and modeling commands….

Stellation of polyhedra refers to the process of extending the faces (or edges) of a polyhedron outward to form new, more complex shapes. These new shapes, called stellations, are created by adding extra vertices, edges, and faces that “project” outward from the original polyhedron’s structure….

This is the second year we are experimenting with a beautiful exercise with the Computation-based Basic Design 1 students at İstanbul Bilgi University Faculty of Architecture. The exercise is based on the ideas of Benay Gürsoy and Şebnem Yalınay, who are among the pioneers of…
