Spherical Models (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Well-illustrated, practical approach to creating star-faced spherical forms that can serve as basic structures for geodesic domes. Complete instructions for making models from circular bands of paper with just a ruler and compass. Discusses tessellation, or tiling, and how to make spherical models of the semiregular solids and concludes with a discussion of the relationship of polyhedra to geodesic domes and directions for building models of domes. ". . . very pleasant reading." — Science. 1979 edition.
