Description

3-dimensional mapping of Moroccan, "girih" or "zillij" pattern, onto icosahedral-face symmetry. Subsequently, intersections and vertices were translated onto surface of a sphere, using unit radial vectors. Radial vectors are then truncated, to produce critical lattice endpoint geometry. 

Several "false starts" and discarded trials to achieve final appearance. (Essentially, striving to properly re-align arc-segments, along parallel lesser-circle paths. One of my previous "close" attempts can be viewed in my "scraps" folder.)

Produced in SketchUp • Rendered in Kerkythea
