Geodesic Domes: Their Geometry And How To Use It

This book focusses on the art of generating dome geometry, from which domes of all shapes and sizes can be constructed. The book takes the art of dome building far beyond the conventional icosahedral hemisphere: it will show you how to generate elliptical, conical, parabolic and many other forms of dome; domes shaped to fit any footprint; domes based on any of the platonic and archimedean solids; as well as prisms and antiprisms, flate based domes at any truncation, multiple layer domes, and much more. From architects to enthusiasts, this book is for anyone interested in generating space frame configurations.
