- Ever wondered how to work out the geometry of a geodesic dome? Is it icosahedron based or maybe octahedron or dodecahedron? This video shows how easy it is to work out the parent to any geodesic dome, go and have a look at pictures on the internet and you'll see just how easy it is.
Thank you Paul. I will buy the book, as will thousands of other for reference .
Looking forward to the book!
A Geodesic Rhombic Dodecahedron, or Truncated Rhombic Dodecahedron, have also Squares, in fact the squares have a nice and Tri-Axial formation to work with. And since Rhombic Dodecahedron is derived from compression of most uniform Sphere Packing, these are Space Fillers. And Prefabricated Houses can be accumulated on top of one another.
You're a legend, Paul! Can't wait for the book.
extremely clarifying, thank you!
Why would you need a base polygon? That defeats the entire purpose of a geodesic dome. The point of a geodesic dome is to approximate a circle using triangles, aka a polygon abstraction of a circle. Why would you then want ANOTHER layer to this? Utterly pointless, its the circle your trying to replicate for its unique structural properties, not a octahedron or dodecahedron, which themselves are further approximations of a circle? This is very strange and very...idk what the word is....irrational?
A book. Excellent!
Hi Paul. Any idea how to determine the geodesic geometry of the cinerama dome in Hollywood?
Yes it's the same method, just find two pentagons and count between. I looked at a few pictures and a UA-cam video to find the pentagons and it's very similar to the Epcot. Same class II (pentakis dodecahedron) but a 9 frequency open honeycomb design. I'll do a video a post a link as it's a very interesting dome.
@@Geo-Dome that would be terrific! I am working on building a 3D model and am investigating different geodesic tools
Where can I buy your book sir?
My dream home is dome in a dome in another dome.
Hey, what about your book ? I'd love to read it.
I really look forward to getting my hands on that book!
شرح ممتاز
Thank you for your videos! Question: could the EPCOT sphere used in your example also be considered a 16V Class II (Triacon) Geodesic?
Yes, the trouble is that there are a number of different ways to describe geodesic geometry and it can be quite confusing, Icosahedron used to be called "alternative method" by Fuller then class I. I just find it simpler to say what the base polyhedron is.
Bucky would have kissed you right on the mouth like you were his Son Paul .... LOVE your videos, you're helping BIG TIME to waken human consciousness to the CRITICAL concept of "doing more with less" which is Humanity's ONLY hope.
Also if there is a link to your book I would be most interested in reading it. Fascinating topic! Thanks in advance! 🙂
Ah,
A Druidi man.
Or, whatever. :)
Where might one acquire your offering?
This is a good idea. It allows democratizing this hard-to-chew knowledge. However, I suggest keeping the exact identification in the book as additional information. It allows the purists to trace back
Do you have chord factors for a class Ii geodesic dodecahedron?
You are brilliant. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!!
Incredible ! Cant wait for the book .
When is the book available?
