Abstract

 A man made structure becomes stronger as its size is increased. They find application in the roofing of buildings. Geodesic spheres are arrangements of polygons in great circles that approximate a true sphere. Of all structures built from linear elements, a Geodesic Dome has the highest ratio of enclosed volume to weight. This paper highlights the uses and applications of geodesic domes along with their geometrical properties.
