Description:

Each of the models in this text plays its part as a hands-on introduction to the stuy of geodesic domes. It was the American architext Buckminster Fuller who pioneered this type of building and who also helped to establish a sound basis for designing them.

Synopsis:

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.
