self-strutted

What a surprise. I sent it to Mr. Miller, too.

Thank you. Thoroughly enjoyable. I read your introduction. Do you have topological designs other than the dome? I would love to learn more about construction.

The short answer is that any shape is possible just by varying the angle of each element. For example, a saddle, or negatively curved section, can be incorporated with positively curved elements,to build a torus.

Thank you.

Lots of skinny triangles in there. Flying over my head like a migrating teal. 

Is the red line the path of the initial elements? How many elements vary? All of them?

Curious how to approach a free formed structure.

Hi Chales- You built it with circles, not triangles. Each circle is centered on a vertex. The triangles are incidental. The circles overlap. It takes two circles (elements) to create one edge. That's where the term self-strutted comes in. An edge is a slight fold or bend between two vertexes just like in Fuller's plydome.

Here is a good index of parametric architecture.
