Garnet city. Architectural Dodecahedronism.

Always thought that this would make a beautiful Japanese tea house.

This is a dream of a structure for which I have invented a truss system. I would love to have say 5 acres of land subdivided into hexagonal plots and offer them to the public who would build a rhombic dodecahedron (RD) homestead upon an exact hexagonal grid floorplan. Eventually over time it could be developed into a tetrahedral pyramid as families would add another RD to their dwelling.
It may qualify for a humanities grant to research how socio-logically the site would develop.

This is a paperweight model of a Japanese Tea House. Notice the architectural problem that the builder is having trying to put a smaller upper deck onto a larger lower deck. The problem is one of orthogonality. It works so much more elegantly by using rhombic dodecahedrons as seen above.

Here is the perfect location where I have built a two level rhombic dodecahedron structure.
It is well used as a shelter for local wildlife and as a place of meditation.
There is a joy in being surrounded by the virtual matrix design of our universe.

In order to enhance the energy field I am planning to sink copper rods into the ground next to each post. There will be twelve in all.
I will join long lengths of copper braided ribbon to each rod and then attach these ribbons, running from bottom to top, to the exterior framework of the structure. The twelve copper ribbons will be joined at the peak.

The final result.... a secret jungle retreat!

The Satkona Yantra

A new and yet again innovative matrix design utilizing triangles and squares allows the sculptor to create a mandala symbol called satkona yantra or sadkona yantra found on ancient South Indian Hindu temples built thousands of years ago. It symbolizes the Nara-Narayana, or perfect meditative state of balance achieved between Man and God, and if maintained, results in "Moksha," or "Nirvana" (release from the bounds of the earthly world and its material trappings).
A Yantra is meditational device used in Hindu and Tibetan Tantric meditation.
From the root "yam," meaning "to sustain," the Yantra is a symbolic image used to maintain a focused state during meditation. A Yantra is usually composed of an outer geometrical form enclosing an interior geometrical design. Each particular design is used for a specific purpose or intent.
Some of the basic elements of a Yantra are:
Ø The Bindu, or infinite point.
Ø Upward and downward facing triangles, symbolizing a female, watery energy, and male, fiery cosmic energy.
Ø A hexagram or six pointed star (satkona), symbolizing the union of Shiva and Shakti, masculine and feminine energy.
