  2. Geodesic dome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geodesic_dome

    A geodesic dome is a hemispherical thin-shell structure (lattice-shell) based on a geodesic polyhedron. The rigid triangular elements of the dome distribute stress throughout the structure, making geodesic domes able to withstand very heavy loads for their size.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckminster_Fuller

    Fuller began working with architect Shoji Sadao [33] in 1954, together designing a hypothetical Dome over Manhattan in 1960, and in 1964 they co-founded the architectural firm Fuller & Sadao Inc., whose first project was to design the large geodesic dome for the U.S. Pavilion at Expo 67 in Montreal. [33] This building is now the "Montreal ...

    Wellington Mk.X HE239 of No.428 Sqn. RCAF, illustrating the geodetic construction and the level of battle damage it could sustain and still return to base. The earliest-known use of a geodetic airframe design for any aircraft was for the pre-World War I Schütte-Lanz SL1 rigid airship's envelope structure] of 1911, with the airship capable of up to a 38.3 km/h (23.8 mph) top airspeed.

    The geodesic dome exterior was designed by R. Buckminster Fuller with Shoji Sadao and Geometrics Inc., [2] while the interior structures and exhibits were designed by Cambridge Seven Associates. [1] The construction project, led by the George A. Fuller Company, began in December 1965. [3] The Expo opened on 27 April 1967 and ran until 29 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curved_structures

    Differently from the post and lintel construction, which capacity depends on the resistance of the single members, curved structures can rely on their shape too. However, single curvature structures (that is, simple vaults) show less capacity than double curvature ones (e.g., domes, domical and cloister and saddle).
