There are exactly five plantonic solids; Tetrahedron, Cube, Octahedron, Dodecahedron, Icosahedron. While they might sound fancy they are actually the most basic building blocks that can be reduced to. They are named for the ancient Greek philosopher Plato who theorized that the classical elements were constructed from the regular solids. Algorithmic scripting is allowing designers to create new forms for the 21st era using Plato’s solids.
