Abstract—Preparata and Vuillemin proposed the cube-connected cycles (${\cal {CCC}}$) and its compact layout in 1981 [17]. We give a new layout of the ${\cal {CCC}}$ which uses less than half the area of the Preparata-Vuillemin layout. We also give a lower bound on the layout area of the ${\cal {CCC}}$. The area of the new layout deviates from this bound by a small constant factor. If we “unfold” the cycles in the ${\cal {CCC}}$, the resulting structure can be laid out in optimal area.
