Snub Polyhedral Forms Constructed from Flexible 60 120 Degree Rhombic Tiles
We construct snub polyhedral forms using rhombi made from paper backed wood veneer which are connected pairwise at corners using split pin fasteners. Combining pairs of adjacent triangular faces into roughly 60* 120* rhombi result in polyhedron with even degree vertices. The flexibility of the materials allows the final closing of the object into a roughly spherical shape, despite eliminating the dihredral angle between the adjacent paired triangles. The open lattice construction yields elegant chiral symmetric forms with visual movement.
