A frieze on a cylinder

add to album

In Santander (Spain), on the Avenida de la reina Victoria, the decoration of this landmark shows very well the relation between the 7 frieze groups in the plane and the 7 prismatic subgroups of space isometries. If we roll the landmrk on a plane, we would get a frieze, with symmetry type 22∞.
We can see an other analogue example.

The image belongs to the sections...:
22∞ (p112) (Symmetry)
Other prismal groups (Symmetry)
In the street (Anthology of images)
In the street (Symmetry)
