  Icosidodecahedron - Definition, explanation
An icosidodecahedron is a polyhedron with twenty triangular faces and twelve pentagonal faces.
An icosidodecahedron has icosahedral symmetry, and its first stellation is the compound of a dodecahedron and its dual icosahedron, with the vertices of the icosahedron located at the midpoints of the edges of either.
Canonical coordinates for the vertices of an icosidodecahedron are the cyclic permutations of (0,0,±τ), (±1/2, ±τ/2, ±(1+τ)/2), where τ is the Golden mean, (1+√5)/2.

 Augmenting the small retrosnub icosidodecahedron
The triangular faces of the original small retrosnub icosidodecahedron are shown in yellow.
An associated augmentation of the small retrosnub icosidodecahedron can be obtained by excavating the pentagrams as in the first example above (77a) and also augmenting one set of icosahedral triangular faces (blue in the original image of the small retrosnub icosidodecahedron) with triangular pyramids or tetrahedra.
Another associated augmentation of the small retrosnub icosidodecahedron can be obtained by excavating the pentagrams as in the first example above (77a) and also augmenting both sets of icosahedral triangular faces (blue in the original image of the small retrosnub icosidodecahedron) with triangular pyramids or tetrahedra.

If you truncate an icosidodecahedron by cutting the corners off, you do not get an actual regular truncated icosidodecahedron: some of the faces will be irregular polygons.
However, the resulting figure is topologically equivalent to truncated icosidodecahedron and can always be deformed until the faces are regular.

 molecular close packing
The structure of each sphere is along the lines of a icosidodecahedron encased in the space structure of a truncated icosahedron.
Based on the arc segment chord lengths of the icosidodecahedron being unity, the outer 12 encased icosidodecahedrons sphericals have a radius of Tau ((square root of 5) + 1)/2) and the inner icosidodecahedron encased in a space frame dodecahedron has a radius of Tau (squared).
The inner icosidodecahedron spherical is not evident in this diagram but its surface is penetrated by the outer spheres in the form of 12 pentagon shaped dimples of a chord length of Tau.

As with the cuboctahedron the icosidodecahedron has a close relationship with two platonic solids, the icosahedron and the dodecahedron.
If the icosahedron and the dodecahedron are assembled together with a common centre point, then the surfaces that are common to both will leave the shape of the icosidodecahedron ensuring of course that the vertices of one penetrates through the centres of the others faces, (ie.

Sometimes these two solids are also referred to as the rhombitruncated cuboctahedron and the rhombitruncated icosidodecahedron.

 Cool math 4 kids .com - The Stellated Icosidodecahedron
The stellated icosidodecahedron is simply the dodecahedron intersected with the icosahedron!
We can do this because the dodecahedron and the icosahedron have a very special relationship with each other: They are duals.
The term "stellated" means that this polyhedron can be created by extending the faces of the icosidodecahedron.

 convex polyhedra 2
By cutting the "peaks" of a cube or of a regular octahedron, using the midpoints of the edges, (truncation by the vertices), we get a cuboctahedron whose vertices are the vertices of four regular hexagons.
Applying such a truncation to a regular dodecahedron or a regular icosahedron leeds to an icosidodecahedron whose vertices are the vertices of six regular decagons.
The truncated icosahedron is also the structure of the best known fullerene, the C60 (60 atoms of carbon with simple links along the pentagons' sides and double links between the pentagons).

 Rhombitruncated Icosidodecahedron   (Site not responding. Last check: )
icosidodecahedron, we move in the same distance from each corner along the edges.
This process shortens the side lengths of the edges in the original icosidodecahedron by the same amount.
Notice that it also doubles the number of edges -- changing the purple pentagonal faces of the icosidodecahedron (left) into purple 10-sided faces in the truncated icosidodecahedron; changing the green triangular faces of the icosidodecahedron into green hexagonal faces in the truncated icosidodecahedron.

 Archimedean Duals   (Site not responding. Last check: )
We may construct the icosidodecahedron dual by moving the dual vertices inside the triangular faces towards the center of the icosidodecahedron, thereby flattening the dual's faces into planar rhombi.
Another way to construct the icosidodecahedron is to connect the midpoints of the edges of an icosahedron or of a dodecahedron.
If instead you connect the midpoints of the edges of the rhombic triacontahedron, you obtain the solid diagrammed in blue above, which is essentially a rhombicosidodecahedron, but with each square replaced by a golden rectangle.

 The Archimedean Solids
Another shape, which could be obtained from a dodecahedron, is easier to obtain by this method by trimming the corners of an icosahedron, thus creating little pentagonal faces at each corner, and changing the triangular faces to hexagons.
The dual of the icosidodecahedron happens to be an interesting shape, the rhombic triacontahedron, just as the rhombic dodecahedron is the dual of the cuboctahedron.
The rhombic triacontahedron is a very interesting shape, because of the explicit way in which it embodies the symmetries shared by the dodecahedron and icosahedron.
