Geodesic Domes & How To Make Them

An illustrated guide to creating your own geodesic dome. Providing the conceptual, mathematical, and philosophical basis for geodesics, this practical and deeply detailed booklet will put you on the path to creating your own dome dwelling. Inside, you'll find step-by-step instructions for creating your own models, developing building plans, selecting the best materials, and much more, including stories of real-life dome projects and how they've fared over time. You'll even encounter some poetic moments: "Watching the new geometry piece itself together was exciting, suspenseful, like watching a new flower grow. We finished it in the moonlight." All this is accompanied by helpful photographs and illustrations, together forming a technical, informative, and creative manual to geodesic projects of all sizes.
