Professor Goodrich was one of the winners of the 2006 President’s Faculty Innovation Awards at KCC.   Her proposed project (“Shapes, Space and Symmetry”) was to combine traditional techniques of origami with a technique that she developed for computer-graphic design of geometric paper, to teach principles of geometry, symmetry, and crystallography.  These photographs show some of the geometric objects that she has created using these techniques.

Scaled dodecahdron series:  dodecahedron → small stellated dodecahedron → great dodecahedron → great stellated dodecahedron.

Stella octangula.  The stella octangula is a polyhedron compound composed of a tetrahedron and its dual (a second tetrahedron rotated 180° with respect to the first). The stella octangula is also called a stellated tetrahedron, and is the only stellation of the octahedron.
