Above is a rhombicosidodecahedron, one of the Archimedean solids. It is "uniform on its vertices" , which means that every vertex is equivalent.

At each vertex there is a pentagon, a square, a triangle, and another square. There are 60 vertices. Above is the dual to the rhombicosidodecahedron. Our construction replaces each face with a card. Above is a computer rendering of the construction. This is an 8-inch diameter construction in which the 30 cards have more overlap, so it is trickier to make. I like the 5-fold stars which arise on the sides of the cards. Here's a view looking directly at one of the twelve 5-fold stars. Sticklessons with Bob Culbertson.
