Description:
The Cube’s Transformation presents the hexahedron as being the octant-symmetric common denominator of other more complex polyhedra. A cubic lattice work is then used as a basis for polyhedra and sphere packing. This concept is illustrated by a flight over a topographically faithful polyhedra-packed representation of the San Gabriel mountain range. Other intriguing symmetries and relationships are depicted by kinematic polyhedra and fractal solids.
