Soma Cube Design

Soma Cube Design

We were given the challenge of creating a soma cube. A soma cube consists of a multiple geometric shapes that fit into a three by three cube. The requirements of the cube consists of five pieces, each piece no more than six cubes, no two pieces should be the same, and the whole cube should consist of twenty-seven little cubes. I have created two designs in which both fit all of the requirements.

To figure out how all of the pieces fit together without actually having the piece in hand, I used a simple technique. First off I drew the cube as a whole. Then I proceeded to draw in each piece into the cube as if it were already assembled.
