He believed that the they correspond to the four ancient Elements, Earth, Water, Air and Fire, as well as the Universe.
Archimedische lichamen
Archimedean Solids, like the Platonic ones, consist of regular Polygons and look the same at every vertex. However the faces are multiple different regular polygons. There are 13 Archimedean Solids, two of which are reflections of each other. Explore 3D models on Polypad…

Intersecting Tetrahedra
Five intersecting Tetrahedra form the logo of Mathigon and one of the most beautiful polyhedra. But creating them using Origami is extremely difficult. The shown models consist of 30 modules each, and 10 pages of A4 paper!
