Following on from his successful Drawing Geometry Jon Allen explores the creation of the many-sided three-dimensional forms known as the Platonic & Archimedean solids. Based on patterns of equally spaced points on a sphere these polyhedra have been the fundamentals of geometric exploration for millennia. Many professionals find they need to be able to build three-dimensional shapes accurately & understand the principles behind them. This unique book shows them how to make models of all the Platonic & Archimedean solids as well as several other polyhedra & stellated forms. It provides step-by-step instructions for constructing the three-dimensional forms as well as showing how to draw out accurately the geometry of the paperfold nets. Beginners & experienced artists & designers alike will find this book a source of practical guidance as well as delight & inspiration which will amply repay the careful attention needed to construct the models.
