Abstract

We present three types of building blocks using rhombic dodecahedra and truncated octahedra, which are geometric with some symmetry yet have creature-like morphologies. Basic connections and constructions with a set of the blocks are explored and confirmed using 3D models and prototypes realized with wood and paper.
