In elementary geometry a polyhedron (plural polyhedra or polyhedrons) is a geometric solid in three dimensions with flat faces and straight edges. The word polyhedron comes from the Classical Greek πολύεδρον, as poly- (stem of πολύς, "many") + -hedron (form of έδρα, "base", "seat", or "face").
A polyhedron is a 3-dimensional example of the more general polytope in any number of dimensions.

Here is a website that will help me construct the shapes that is ant to involve http://www.korthalsaltes.com/


The reason I have chosent to look at polyheadron is because of the structure and I really like the construction on the form especially if the shape is 'regular'. What I was considering was to adjust the proportions on the face with a polygon in mind. I wand tho create a dispaportionate face but I'm not sure how to promote this ideology to look good. I would like to use a of geometry but I'm concidering how.
