Hexagonal Honeycomb II (SBA-15)
I designed this model for the cover illustration of my father’s book on nanoparticles. It represents the structure of SBA-15, a type of mesoporous silica. My...
Origami Quilts
Origami quilts (which could also be described as modular tessellations) are models which can tile the plane just like tessellations, but constructed from multiple sheets of paper. Since the models form a planar surface, most models can be extended to an arbitrarily high number of models. Compare with tessellation modulars.
This page lists models of a single type. You might be interested in folding instructions instead.
Hexagonal Honeycomb
This structure can be extended indefinitely to fill the plane with a hexagonal pattern. By adding more layers it can also be expanded up and down.
