Abstract -
We study the geometric features of the
hexagonal prism and show some designs to be used
in architectural geometry. Motivated by the
architecture model built in [1], we propose several
geometrical designs using the hexagonal prism as
the basic primitive. We focus on the geometrical
patterns of the hexagonal prism,we pursuit to
identify those patterns that space dictates and
describe how these patterns are manifested in
mathematics and in computer graphics.
