Poutvaara Science Laboratory, PSL

 

PSL is a new branch started from the Design Bureau Poutvaara. Similar as Poutvaara Space Agency, also PSL is focused on modelling and visualization, but more in basic sciences related abstract mathematical geometry and engineering design. PSL-images are going to be available in PPS in the collection 27.

PSL starting project is modelling of top ancient knowledge of Polyhedrons, regular geometry-defined forms, from which there can be made objects. As focus there is the most universal and most regular Platonic Polyhedrons (5) and also as famous uniform Archimedean Polyhedrons (13). More about the project can be red from Kirjoitettua (Written) –column.

The second project of PSL is more polyhedrons, newer, namely the Deltahedrons consisting of triangular faces and the Catalan solids, some less regular and even non-regular. All of these were completed in a period of two months.
