Eusebio Sempere designed in stainless steel, a complex sculpture that shows a deep interest in internal geometry, in that which is not known but is perceived. And when it is discovered it astonishes.

Like a star is the first of the modern sculptures in the city of Alicante, and one of the most emblematic.

It is a twelve-sided polyhedron with pentagonal sides from which 51 polished stainless steel tubes (except for the base, which has 50) emerge, longer from the upper face (235 cm for the central tube and 60 cm for the shortest). The sculpture is placed on an axis supported on an iron base so that the work remains isolated in space and moves thanks to an incorporated electrical mechanism.

The Omnipolyhedron is the composition made with the frames of the five platonic solids in such a way that each one of them is inscribed in the next one.

The Omnipolyhedron is installed in the Tossal Theme Park in Alicante so that it can be observed as a sculpture.

The structure placed in the Tossal of Alicante has been designed in the IES Leonardo da Vinci of Alicante on the occasion of the events of the World Mathematics Year 2000. Its construction has been possible thanks to an agreement between the Department of Education of the Alicante City Council and the Al-Khwarizmi Mathematics Education Society of the Valencian Community.

The year 2011 has been declared by UNESCO as the international year of chemistry. Among the possible monuments that highlight the mathematical character of the world is the crystalline iron structure that was the symbol of the Brussels General Exhibition in 1958. With a chemical element we start the new year.

Like the Eiffel Tower in Paris, which was to be dismantled, the Atomium has been saved from destruction and oblivion to become a landmark of the city.

The impressive structure by architect André Waterkeyn is 103 metres high and the radius of each sphere is 9 metres.

The crystalline structure is body-centred cubic, which is not optimal for the packing of spheres. The connecting rods are workshop representations.

The Star of Freedom (1990), a sculptural work by Enrique Salamanca.

Salamanca is an outstanding exponent of Geometric Art and Kinetic Art. His exhibition catalogues often feature Apollonius of Perga, Kepler, Galileo, Möbius and Mandelbrot. The real and the illusory go hand in hand. The sculptures take on different forms depending on the position of the viewer. The polished stainless steel acts as a mirror, completing the existing with symmetries.

The Star is made of a stainless steel ribbon bent and held in place by a reticular cubic structure. Like any cube that is viewed in line with the diagonal, the hexagonal silhouette appears. It is actually an octahedron with two opposite faces missing, revealing its interior. The empty triangles are extended in shiny sheet metal to form the hexagonal star. The inclination of the supporting rectangle and the support at one point give the pleasant sensation of a floating structure.

The endless staircase, which is the main motif of this paper, has its origin in the article by L. S. Penrose and R. Penrose in the British Journal of Psychology in February 1958. An inner courtyard is surrounded by a building whose roof consists of an endless staircase. The inhabitants of the building are perhaps monks, members of an unknown sect. Are they obliged to perform the ritual of walking up this staircase every day for a few hours? If they get tired, they will probably go down the staircase instead of going up it. Both directions, though equally reasonable, have the disadvantage of offering no rest.

Mathematics in Escher's art - Belvedere (1958)- Painting

# data[].attributes.body
This lithograph shows a three-storey building, which I will refer to as ground, first and second floors, in which we can see something that would not be possible in a real building: it is a staircase whose lower part rests on the inside of the floor of the first floor, while its upper part rests on the outside of the first floor. Both the upper half of the image and the lower half of the image are fully coherent, but the whole image is not. If we look closely, in order for the staircase to have the proposed location, the first floor has to be rotated 90º with respect to the first floor. For this reason, some of the columns on the first floor are supported in places other than what one would expect.

In the lower part of the image, a character can be seen holding a Necker cube in his hands, which is the impossible object on which this work by Escher is based.
