Mission statement: To change minds, to open eyes, to educate and inspire people designing and building better worlds.

Beauty makes beautiful things beautiful!

A sphere can be completely surrounded by exactly twelve other identical spheres. Close-packing of spheres helps us explore the shape of the physical space. A good design of a 3D structure shall obey the principles, freedom, and constraints imposed by the physical space around us.

Platonic Structures are complex 3D structures assembled from simple components using the patterns imposed by the close-packing of spheres. We have developed and patented ( in US and
