Gourd-shaped geodesic envelop
Posted: May 23rd, 2010 | Author: John Zerning | Filed under: Gourd | Tags: Gourd, Truncated | No Comments »Truncated geodesic domes of different sizes can be joined together forming a continuous envelop. The drawings show a truncated dome with an apse. The dome has a 6-frequency octahedral symmetry and the apse a 3-frequency octahedral symmetry. Notice the clean geometry along the cross-section where the truncated dome and apse join.
