My Search for Symmetrical Embeddings of Regular Maps

Year: 2010 Authors: Carlo H. Séquin

Core claim

Geometric intuition and physical models can rival computational search in discovering symmetrical embeddings of regular maps, and the resulting patterns can inspire Escher-like tilings.

regular maps, symmetrical embeddings, 3D visualization, Escher-like tilings

Domains

topology, group theory, combinatorics, graph embeddings, mathematical art, sculptural visualization, surface design, tessellation

Methods

computer search, paper-strip models, plastic-pipe models, iterative constructive tiling

Media

paper strips, plastic pipes, tubular surfaces, ribbons
