Icosahedral Symmetry - Fundamental Domain

Fundamental Domain

Fundamental domains for the icosahedral rotation group and the full icosahedral group are given by:

In the disdyakis triacontahedron one full face is a fundamental domain; other solids with the same symmetry can be obtained by adjusting the orientation of the faces, e.g. flattening selected subsets of faces to combine each subset into one face, or replacing each face by multiple faces, or a curved surface.
