Notched Edges 3-5-2 (Byriah Loper)
Notched Edges 3-5-2
60 units 2-fold view.
This model was the third expression of a notched edge unit concept, which I developed a few years back but only recently applied. This pattern is simple, and I believe Hideaki Kawashima may have discovered something similar, though with different units. 3-point stars intersect in 5-fold axes. This is another example of a notation I have used to describe weaving relationships, that I refer to as “Edge Mapping.” (Non-basic versions will likely follow.) Also, this offers another unit type to simply express the basic compounds. The paper is used in such a way that extra layers reinforce the notched area. Traditionally, a constraint on unit complexification is reduction of structural strength which follows from additional layers and folds, but such layers, if judiciously arranged, may recontribute to strengthening the units. The applications for notched edges are manifold in wireframe design, and thus I will probably plan on including something of this series in my third book.
Designed by me.
