In the geometry of hyperbolic 3-space, the dodecahedral-icosahedral beehouse is a uniform beehouse, constructed from dodecahedron, icosahedron, and icosidodecahedron cells, in a rhombicosidodecahedron vertex figure. A geometric honeycomb is a space-filling of polyhedral or higher-dimensional cells, so that there are no gaps. It is an example of the more general mathematical tiling or tessellation in any number of dimensions. Honeycombs are usually constructed in ordinary Euclidean ("flat") space, like the convex uniform honeycombs. They may also be constructed in non-Euclidean spaces, such as hyperbolic uniform honeycombs. Any finite uniform polytope can be projected to its circumsphere to form a uniform honeycomb in spherical space. (Wikipedia).
How to Construct a Dodecahedron
How the greeks constructed the Dodecahedron. Euclids Elements Book 13, Proposition 17. In geometry, a dodecahedron is any polyhedron with twelve flat faces. The most familiar dodecahedron is the regular dodecahedron with regular pentagons as faces, which is a Platonic solid. A regular dode

The dodecahedron is surely one of the truly great mathematical objects---revered by the ancient Greeks, Kepler, and many mathematicians since. Its symmetries are particularly rich, and in this video we look at how to see the five-fold and six-fold symmetries of this object via internal str

The remarkable Platonic solids II: symmetry | Universal Hyperbolic Geometry 48 | NJ Wildberger
We look at the symmetries of the Platonic solids, starting here with rigid motions, which are essentially rotations about fixed axes. We use the normalization of angle whereby one full turn has the value one, and also connect the number of rigid motions with the number of directed edges.

Rhombofoam in Zome – Scott Vorthmann
Rhombofoam is a pattern that fills 3D space in all the ways that a golden rhombohedron does, while forming dodecahedral and 16-sided cells that have the topology of foam: three cells around each edge, and four around each vertex. The result is a foam model that has the symmetries of a quas

The Weaire-Phelan foam is a relaxation of a packing of irregular dodecahedra and tetrakaidecahedra. Dissect the dodecahedra into pentagon-based pyramids by adding a vertex at the center, then glue their bases to the surrounding tetrakaidecahedra. Amazingly the faces line up and the result
