About this School Project (Geodesic Orbs after Architect, Buckminster Fuller)
Students get familiar with the Artist/Architect, Buckminster Fuller who designed the Geodesic Dome. We are fortunate enough to have a fine example of his architectural design in our own Henry Doorly Zoo's Desert Dome. The students have learned how the Triangle is the central strength element which, when joined together form the largest interior spherical area or space for this building structures. We have used this simple design to form these beautiful Christmas Ornaments. When complete some of us even had time to enhance ours with a bit of glitter. We hope you enjoy our show.
