Making Geometry Exploring Three-Dimensional Forms by Jon Allen

Following on from his successful Drawing Geometry,  Jon Allen explores the creation of the many-sided three-dimensional  forms known as the Platonic and Archimedean solids. Based on patterns of  equally spaced points on a sphere, these polyhedra have constituted the  fundamentals of geometric exploration for millennia. 
Many  professionals find that they need to know how to build three-dimensional  shapes accurately and understand the principles behind them. This  unique book shows the reader how to make models of all the Platonic and  Archimedean solids, as well as several other polyhedra and stellated  forms. It provides systematic instructions for constructing the  three-dimensional forms and shows how to draw the geometry of the  paperfold nets accurately.
Beginners and experienced artists and  designers alike will find this book a source of practical guidance,  delight, and inspiration that will amply repay the careful attention  needed to construct the models.
