Platonic and Archimedian Solids

by Daud Sutton

Whereas Sacred Geometry introduced readers to two-dimensional forms, Platonic & Archimedean Solids presents the world of three dimensions, which was understood as early as neolithic time. Daud Sutton elegantly explores the eighteen formsâ from the cube to the octahedron and icosidodecahedronâ that are the universal building blocks of three-dimensional space, and shows the fascinating relationships between them. For anyone interested in design, architecture, and mathematics, this will be a delight.

Solid explanation of the geometry would have liked to have seen a better explanation of the ancient philosophical meanings. Beautiful illustrations
