We study hidden geometry of Bier spheres Bier(K) = K * ? K? by describing their natural geometric realizations, compute volume, describe an effective criterion for polytopality, and associate to a coarsening Fan(K) the Braid fan. also establish connection maximal volume with recent generalizations classical Van Kampen-Flores theorem clarify role in theory generalized permutohedra.
