Elevations are topological strucures with geometric composition. They are also porous polyhedra that extend beyond the surface of the base polyhedra and form extrahedral structures. These examples of elevations are inspired by mathematical artist Rinus Roelofs' exploration of them in his 2014 Bridges Math and Art Conference paper, Elevations and Stellations, which was itself inspired by Leonardo da Vinci. This collection features a diverse array of elevated models exhibiting polyhedral symmetries.
