This is just to record a small discovery.
Here are two views of the same 3d shape. What is the shape?
I'll add an answer as a comment in a couple of days.

I see here 4 square based pyramids on the first floor, and one in the second floor! A Sierpinski square-based pyramid, iteration 1.
Yes, indeed.

I was at first surprised that projections of same edges produced once concave and then convex polygons depending on the point of view. My initial impression was that there was a mistake somewhere. Had to think of that with closed eyes.
