Geometric Sculptures

This book is about the construction of geometric sculptures using mainly building
blocks and toy construction parts. Most of these geometric sculptures are already
well known and have been mainly constructed in wood, metal or plastic. They are
also popular as origami models. Only a few of these are my own discoveries.

I have chosen this as a media because it is easy to assemble without the preparation
of materials as compared to using wood. Building blocks is excellent for prototyping
for these projects. Your ideas can be realized with minimum effort and easy to make
changes and trying out other designs.

I hope you will have as much fun as I did in creating the sculptures and to solve
problems during the assembly. At times it is similar to solving a puzzle and it needs
patience.

A good compilation is from a book "Orderly Tangles" by Alan Holden. He use the
term "regular polylinks " to describe these type of geometric linkages derived from
polyhedra.

As regular polylinks become more widely known perhaps someone will discover
significant applications for these beautiful mathematical objects. By using this
as a media to create sculptures and models will hopefully make these more easily
accessible to all.

Explore and have fun!
