OCTAHEDRON CRYSTAL SYSTEM

SECTION OF LIVING POD

We study a crystal system, which is a series of point groups. Two point groups are placed in the same crystal system if the sets of possible lattice systems of their space groups are the same. For many point groups there is only one possible lattice system, and in these cases the crystal system corresponds to a lattice system and is given the same name.

DIAGRAM OF UNITS INDEX

er r Ent Indoo

Based on the single octahedron crystal system, we create different forms of units by merging the overlaying edges or vertexes , rotating, distorting, arraying, for different functions provided by this megastucture. The levee units are long, narrow and flat, for more water turbulence, while the living pod units are more smooth which looks like mushrooms for the daily living utilities.
