Advancement Through Research
A polyhedron is a structure used in various fields, including mathematics, architecture, chemistry, and the arts. This article is based on the hypothesis that knowledge of polyhedra has developed in diverse mutually influential fields and has facilitated many crucial innovations in history. Theories of polyhedra have exercised a far-reaching influence on science, mathematics, the arts, and architecture, crossing over those different disciplines. The research question is how knowledge of polyhedrons in different fields had mutual influences. By representing the intriguing ways in which diverse figures in various fields influenced each other regarding the subject of polyhedra, we can contribute to an understanding of the complex ways in which our knowledge has developed throughout history. We use a qualitative method to collect and analyze data from the literature on polyhedra from ancient philosophy to contemporary art and design. The findings of this study can be utilized in many useful ways. The complex but intriguing ways that knowledge of polyhedra has developed can inspire curators to design exhibitions to show how knowledge has been formed.
