Geodesic Domes
$14.95
By Borin van Loon. Each of the models in this book is both beautiful and interesting to make and plays its part in an introduction to the study of geodesic domes. Buckminster Fuller pioneered this type of building and helped to establish a sound basis for designing them. With the aid of its models, this book explains the underlying theory and shows how a sphere can be divided and subdivided symmetrically to create dramatic buildings which are light and strong and also have no need of internal support. 9-1/2" x 8-1/4", 60 pages.
