Abstract:
A modular dodecahedral-based construction system comprising:a plurality of planar rhombic panels, each rhombic panel having four peripheral edges, said four peripheral edges of each rhombic panel consisting of alternating panel connector and panel receptor edges to provide a total of two panel connector edges and two panel receptor edges per rhombic panel; anda plurality of planar hexagonal panels, each having six peripheral edges, said six peripheral edges of each hexagonal panel consisting of alternating panel connector and panel receptor edges to provide a total of three panel connector edges and three panel receptor edges per hexagonal panel;wherein each of said peripheral edges of each rhombic panel and each hexagonal panel defines either a panel connector edge or a panel receptor edge, and said panel connector edges differ in type from said panel receptor edges; andwherein one said panel connector edge of a first panel of said pluralities of rhombic and hexagonal panels is formed to interconnect with one of said panel receptor edges of a second panel of said pluralities of rhombic and hexagonal panels.
