Geodesic Domes: Demonstrated and Explained with Cut-out Models
A practical, hands-on guide that serves as an interactive introduction to the geometry behind geodesic structures. Rather than relying purely on dry theory, the book provides actual paper cut-out templates that allow readers to assemble their own beautiful, lightweight, and strong three-dimensional mathematical models. Through this building process, it elegantly breaks down the underlying symmetry of spheres, explaining how they can be divided and subdivided to create stable architectural forms—like the famous "Bucky Ball"—without needing internal supports. Author: Borin Van Loon. Dome, Buckyball, Rhombic Triacontahedron are Zometool models in our Models gallery, that support concepts explored in this book. |
