why the name Mangekant?

The name "Mangekant" is a Danish word for a polygon: a flat shape consisting of straight lines that are joined to form a closed chain or circuit. Polygons was often used in Renaissance architecture and art and has long been a theme in my own design. A typical Renaissance touch: The application of scientific principles to visual presentation, have my great interest and must be further explored. The illustration by Leonardo da Vinci shows a rhombicuboctahedron from the book on mathematics, De Divina Proportione  by Luca Pacioli around 1497.
