Spherical Compounds, 2016

This investigation looks at multiple layered spherical objects with different polyhedral forms nested inside the same spherical form. Each polyhedral form is separated into layers by extending the polygons using radial geometry into the centre of the spherical object and creates a structure of nested geometry. There are different types of construction for each spherical object. One form is extended using arcs, the other is a wireframe and the other a continuous surface, all geometrically related through spatial relationship. How can different representations of the classical polyhedral forms be combined and visualised through radial geometry when projected onto the spherical form? Tessellation and polyhedral compounds are used to create a mathematical relationship between the different layers and the nesting of forms create a visual relationship. Ongoing work.
