Holden Polysurfaces are three-dimensional surfaces inspired by the nolids, or zero-volume polyhedra, described in Alan Holden’s book Shapes, Space, and Symmetry. Each polysurface either nests within, is nested by, or both nests and is nested by a Platonic or Archimedean polyhedron. This collection features all 26 known examples.
