Archimedean solid
Videos
The Archimedean solids are a set of thirteen convex polyhedra whose faces are regular polygons and are vertex-transitive, although they are not face-transitive and are generally not edge-transitive. T
The Archimedean solids. Two of them are chiral, with both forms shown, making 15 models in all.

The rhombicuboctahedron or small rhombicuboctahedron is a polyhedron with 26 faces, consisting of 8 equilateral triangles and 18 squares. It was named by Johannes Kepler in his 1618 Harmonices Mundi,
Archimedean solid
…clear statement of such solid existence was made by Duncan Sommerville in 1905. The solid appeared when some mathematicians mistakenly constructed the rhombicuboctahedron: two square cupolas attached to the octagonal prism, with one of them rotated forty-five degrees. The thirteen solids have the property of vertex-transitive…
