| Composed of 24 isosceles trapezoids and 8 equilateral triangles, this curious polyhedron is the intersection of a pair of self dual polyhedra (arranged with perpendicular edges): the canonical form of the tetrahedrally stellated icosahedron. | George W. Hart called this pair of polyhedra Fat and Skinny.
The dark faces are those of an icosidodecahedron, the light faces build three intersecting "rings". | ||||

| An icosidodecahedron (12 pentagons and 20 equilateral triangles) has been cut with 30 squares and 6 golden rhombi arranged along three of the six "decagonal equators". |

Millennium Bookball (New York - Northport Public Library - 1999) Assemblage of 60 "wooden books" connected by 32 bronze "donuts" based on the rhombic triacontahedron (the books correspond to the edges). Made of six different hard woods, the "books" are carved with the titles and authors of the 60 "best books" of the century. |

George W. Hart's polyhedral sculptures can be seen in famous universities, in museums... and on his web site!
The French magazine Tangente devoted an article to him in his number 78 (pages 34-37), probably inspired by Polyhedron Man. | |||||
