Introduction

A geodesic dome is a hemispherical thin-shell structure based on a geodesic polyhedron. The triangular elements of the dome are structurally rigid and distribute the structural stress throughout the structure, making geodesic domes able to withstand very heavy loads for their size. Its "omnitriangulated" surface provides an inherently stable structure, and a sphere encloses the greatest volume for the least surface area.
