LEGO: Build a Geodesic Dome
di Frankie (01/23/2008 - 00:48)

Demi has posted a really cool guide to build a Lego Geodesic Dome.
"A geodesic dome is an almost spherical structure based on a network of great circles (geodesics) lying approximately on the surface of a sphere. The geodesics intersect to form triangular elements that have local triangular rigidity and yet also distribute the stress across the entire structure. It is the only man-made structure that becomes proportionally stronger as it increases in size."
If your are a Dome maniac too you should also check the incredible Space Dome created by Christian Treczoks. The whole structure has about 20000 pieces and is made from classic grey (you can’t build a white/dark grey combination with the new colours without gettin eyesores).
