From the time of the Greeks, polyhedra have fascinated mathematicians and architects alike, while in modern times we've seen fascinating developments like geodesic forms and computer-aided parametric designs. Pure polyhedral forms still fascinate designers, resulting in intriguing creations like this modular cabin by Estonian architect Jaanus Orgusaar. Based on the rhombic dodecahedron, this is a form which can be found in nature, from honeycombs to the molecular structure of diamonds.

Consisting of twelve identical rhombic faces in three-dimensional form, Noa is a wooden structure that uses a hidden polyhedral space frame to give it rigidity. Its modular, prefabricated design means that single pods can be linked up to form larger spaces, while also benefitting from ease of transport.
