The Geometry of Closed Packed Spheres

by Nick Trif

The Geometry of Closed Packed Spheres Mission statement: To change minds, to open eyes, to educate and inspire people designing and building better worlds. Beauty makes beautiful things beautiful! A sphere can be completely surrounded by exactly twelve other identical spheres. Close-packing of spheres helps us explore the shape of the physical space. A good design of a 3D structure shall obey the principles, freedom, and constraints imposed by the physical space around us.
