This isreally interesting. I, as a boy, was always interested in dome houses and the like, and it is really interesting the interior strength of such structures. So this site really is interesting. Maybe some home school parents might want to expose their children to this site.

Many of the links have erroneous "%20" characters. The links work fine once you remove that.

To access the models you will have to visit the parent web site HERE and then go visit the specific link that you are intersted in. You will need to be able to read PDF formats. These are OUTSTANDING! designs. Really, a must see.

I built a dome -- the very shallow angles at the joints make them the weakest part. Geodesy is fun and should be taught as part of geometry.

Many thanks, vannrox. I was wondering what to do for our art project, and my son will love this.
