Related Polyhedra

This polyhedron is a part of a sequence of rhombic polyhedra and tilings with Coxeter group symmetry. The cube can be seen as a rhombic hexahedron where the rhombi are also rectangles.

Coxeter diagram

The rhombic triacontahedron forms the convex hull of one projection of a 6-cube to 3 dimensions.


The 3D basis vectors are:
u = (1, φ, 0, -1, φ, 0)
v = (φ, 0, 1, φ, 0, -1)
w = (0, 1, φ, 0, -1, φ)

Shown with inner edges hidden
There are 64 vertices and 192 unit length edges forming pentagonal symmetry along specific axis (as well as hexagonal symmetries on other axis).

    One does not realize the historical sensation as a re-experiencing, but as an understanding that is closely related to the understanding of music, or rather of the world by means of music.
