Abstract
We present families of construction blocks based on the classical iconographic pattern called a triskelion. The
blocks have a unique way of connection that reminds us of a gymnastic pose of physically-balanced two persons
and that also gives the blocks tiling properties and expressive power of constructing a variety of shapes. We
fabricated prototypes and confirmed the basic connections and the possibility for creating various balanced objects.
