ABSTRACT:
Building structures based on polygonal members with coplanar straight edges and icosahedral symmetry. The building structures comprise a set of ten elementary polygonal members, including four triangular members and six parallelogram-shaped members, that are combined to form tetrahedral, octahedral and half-octahedral or trucated tetrahedral, cuboctahedral and truncated octahedral or rhombohedral and parallelpiped building members that in turn fill a three-dimensional space periodically or non-periodically. The orientation of the building members is such that all edges are parallel to the fifteen two-fold axes of rotation of icosahedral symmetry.
