Convex Uniform Honeycomb - Noncompact Forms

Noncompact Forms

Examples (partially drawn)
Cubic slab honeycomb
 Alternated hexagonal slab honeycomb

If cells are allowed to be uniform tilings, more uniform honeycombs can be defined:

Families:

  • x: Cubic prismatic slab honeycomb (3 forms)
  • x: Tri-hexagonal prismatic slab honeycomb (8 forms)
  • x: Triangular prismatic slab (No new forms)
  • xx: = Cubic column honeycomb (1 form)
  • x: Prismatic column honeycomb
  • xx: = - = (Same as cubic slab honeycomb family)

Famous quotes containing the word forms:

    “When we speak the word “life,” it must be understood we are not referring to life as we know it from its surface of fact, but to that fragile, fluctuating center which forms never reach.”
    —Antonin Artaud (1896–1948)
