Building 3 - Lecture 9-مفتوح
The Geodesic Dome is the strongest, lightest and most – effective building
because it’s ability to cover space without any interior supports.
The geodesic system consists of dividing a sphere into equal triangles so that
the surface structure of a dome could be more easily made.
The similarity of the triangles makes the domes easier to construct and benefits
by being structurally strong. The overall strength is distributed evenly.
Refers to the smoothness or shape of the dome and how many struts it uses.
The higher the frequency, the more struts it uses and more triangles it has,
so the closer the dome it is to a true sphere, making the dome rounder and
stronger.
