Geodesic Domes Bounded by Symmetrical Mainly Hexagonal Elements
Geodesic cutting of the “B” system, published by the author [1, 2] has one drawback, namely the existence of asymmetric elements and their mirror counterparts, which considerably increase the number of types of prefabricated members employed in dome structures. We consider here the system of subdivision where by means of assumption of a small number of types of non-plane elements it is possible to eliminate the asymmetric elements. The geometry of such cutting, called the “O” system, is very convenient for practical dome design. The author has designed and constructed many domes based on this system.
