Each of the models in this book is both beautiful and interesting to make. Each also plays its part as a hands-on introduction to geodesic domes. With the aid of its models, this book explains the underlying theory for designing geodesic domes and shows how a sphere can be divided and subdivided symmetrically in order to create dramatic buildings which are light and strong and also have no need of internal support. Introduction Underlying Symmetry Divisions of the Sphere Domes by Truncation Domes by Subdivision Chord Factors Generating Domes from the Octahedron Generating Domes from the Icosahedron A Geodesic Rotunda A Faceted Hemisphere A Divided Sphere The 'Bucky Ball'
