K-dron

Its history and examples

K-dron

An amazing geometrical solid

"K-dron is a completely different shape from the ones we've known so far. It's an overlooked, eleven-faced geometrical solid, combining both positive and negative, up and down. It's like yin and yang in 3D. It's a half of a pyramid and a half of the absence of a pyramid, embracing one another."

History of K-dron

K-dron was discovered in 1985. Its name comes from a Greek word "dron", which means "face" (of a solid). K is the eleventh letter of Greek alphabet.

Two connected K-drons create a regular hexahedron (a cube).

Janusz Kapusta says there are 168 ways to use K-dron. It is used in architecture, jewellery, mechanics and even toy making. In your opinion, how can we use K-dron in our everyday life?
