Playing with drawing 3D meshes on my polargraph. I render the polygonal model in Blender using the Freestyle renderer, and export the lines using this script:

A [6,4] Hyperbolic Tiling created with the Fractal Science Kit fractal generator. See www.fractalsciencekit.com for details.
A Hyperbolic Tiling replicates a polygon over the hyperbolic plane represented by the Poincare disk in such a way as to form a hyperbolic tiling pattern. The Poincare disk is a model for hyperbolic geometry that maps the hyperbolic plane onto the unit disk. A [p,q] regular tiling of the hyperbolic plane maps a hyperbolic polygon with p sides over the hyperbolic plane such that q polygons meet at each polygon vertex.

This is my first new legitimate project since the surgery. The central squares do not align with the surrounding irregular hexagons. I will try to put up a cp for it in a few days.

Welbeck Street car park is located in Marylebone, in London, United Kingdom.
The car park, designed by Michael Blampied and Partners, was completed in 1970 for the use of the nearby Debenhams store using a design of tessellated concrete polygons. After being sold in 2016, it is under threat of demolition as Historic England decided not to register it as a listed building.
Ce sont tous des papillons que j'avais photographier à différents endroits les années antérieures, mais je n'avais pas encore posté sur Flickr.

Bowtie Module Three Interlocked Rings 6 units
These modules are really interesting edge unit variations- the inner points created at the center of each unit lock loosely together inside the module like a basic Waterbomb Octahedroon, and then the out side lock like standard edge units. I want to adjust the proportions a little to make the inside locks tighter. The assembly is fun- it iis easiest to assemble the center edges that latch around each other first before assembling the outer locks- it isn't generally that hard, but it did take a few moments on a model this size.

Recovery Tetrahedron 6 units
Just a little design. The attempt here was to recreate a version of the Array Cube I made a long time ago, only here with a stronger, more universal lock, and a square piece of paper for each unit. The model is more ridgid than you might think. The naming choice is obvious. This was the first new design I made after the surgery.

Rocks separated from – what's it called – regolith? by frost heave. Forming – like here – polygons of flat ground. But parallel lines on slopes.
Day 2 / 365
Folded from two equal nonagons, each cut from a sheet of 8" kami. All the references come from the diagonals of the nonagon. The small angle of the triangular faces is the unit angle of nonagonal symmetry; as such, the height of the box is equal to the height of the nonagon.
Day 15 / 365
Generalizing this year's second post onto a different polygon. Like last time, the height triangle is the similar to the diameter triangle of the polygon.
I've recently been using the term "modular origami" to describe any multisheet work where all the pieces use the same base, even when -- as in this case -- one unit is modified beyond that form. I know this breaks with the conventional modular aesthetic, but I feel like it's an accurate description of how these models work. "Modular Origami" connotes that the pieces lock together into a stable state by virtue of their symmetry, and that is certainly the case here.
As usual, I'm trying to find things that people haven't done before, but which still make sense within a technical framework or aesthetic archetype. A lot of my recent modulars have used polygon symmetry and associated techniques to explore the modular aesthetic, so even if this piece isn't strictly modular origami, I think for continuity's sake I should include it.
The Thomas Nelson Page House located at 1759 R Street NW in the Dupont Circle neighborhood of Washington, D.C. The building currently serves as headquarters of the American Institute for Cancer Research.
Construction of the Georgian Revival style building was completed in 1896 to the designs of Stanford White, a founding partner of the prominent architectural firm McKim, Mead & White. The original owner, Thomas Nelson Page, was a lawyer, writer, and U.S. ambassador to Italy. The building was added to the D.C. Inventory of Historic Sites in 1974 and the following year it was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The building is also designated a contributing property to the Dupont Circle Historic District, listed on the NRHP in 1978.

I used studs on the side bricks, clips and jumper plates to create a slanted polygon, perfect for a roof curved roof.
I will be using it on the Swing Carousel.
