Truncated Dodecahedron - Geometric Relations

Geometric Relations

This polyhedron can be formed from a dodecahedron by truncating (cutting off) the corners so the pentagon faces become decagons and the corners become triangles.

It is used in the cell-transitive hyperbolic space-filling tessellation, the bitruncated icosahedral honeycomb.

    “New York ... is a city of geometric heights, a petrified desert of grids and lattices, an inferno of greenish abstraction under a flat sky, a real Metropolis from which man is absent by his very accumulation.”
    —Roland Barthes (1915–1980)

    “In the mythic schema of all relations between men and women, man proposes, and woman is disposed of.”
