What is a Kaleidoscape?Based on the principles of three-dimensional geometry, Kaleidoscapes are visually stimulating environments that, using mirrors, create the impression of being inside a polyhedral space that is many times larger than the actual physical structure. |

| These spaces create images of three-dimensional mandalas floating in mid-air, by using symmetries of the spherical rotation groups. There are seventeen different polyhedra that can be generated ranging from 4 to 120 faces. These various polyhedra demonstrate symmetries of the tetrahedral, octahedral and icosahedral rotation groups.
Kaleidoscapes are being used to make astonishing architectural environments. |
