Take six hexagons and connect them to the outer B edges of the pentagons and the hexagons. Finally, take the five half hexagons and connect them to the outer edges of the hexagons. The frequency of a dome is measured by how many edges there are from the center of one pentagon to the center of another pentagon. Now you can decorate it. The first geodesic dome was built by Dr. Walter Bauersfeld in 1922.
Geodesic domes are a good way to make buildings.
They are inexpensive, strong, easy to assemble and easy to tear down. They can even be built, picked up and moved somewhere else. Domes make good temporary emergency shelters as well as long-term buildings. Perhaps some day they will be used in outer space, on other planets or under the ocean. If geodesic domes were made like automobiles and airplanes are made, on assembly lines in large numbers, almost everyone in the world today could afford to have a home.
