küpseks

Küpseks is a Turkish term used to describe objects or forms that resemble a cube. The adjective conveys a cube-like, cubical quality, often emphasizing straight edges, flat faces, and an overall boxy silhouette. It is formed from the noun küp (cube) and a suffix that yields an adjective. The term appears mainly in Turkish-language discussions of geometry, architecture, design, and visual arts; it is less common in everyday speech and in formal mathematics, where terms like cube-like or cubical may be used in other languages.

In geometry and design, küpseks describes forms that are predominantly cubic. A perfect cube is inherently küpseks, while solids with truncations or rounded facets might be described as küpseks in qualitative critique to indicate a cube-inspired geometry. In architecture and industrial design, küpseks aesthetics favor modular, rectilinear massing and planar surfaces, often creating a sense of compact solidity.

In computer graphics and 3D modeling, küpseks can be used to characterize polygonal primitives with equal edge lengths and orthogonal faces; more complex, curvilinear forms would not be described as küpseks. The term remains specialized and is mainly encountered in Turkish-language texts on geometry, design critique, and pedagogy.
