Abstract
We are interested in the sculptural possibilities of closed chains of modular units. One such system is embodied in
MathMaker, a set of wooden pieces that can be connected end-to-end to create a fascinating variety of forms.
MathMaker is based on a cubic honeycomb. We explore the possibilities of similar systems based on octahedraltetrahedral,
rhombic dodecahedral, and truncated octahedral honeycombs.
