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.
