I am practicing and learning Sketchup and eventually am trying to team up to do the real construction, I believe I can extract all the measurements of length and angles of the wood to be cut and so on…

Here trying to produce an Icosahedron

We start with 3 Golden Rectangles perpendicular, connecting all the corners we will come up with an Icosahedron

11 of 140

11

So this is the first Icosahedral triangle,

In these series of videos, next pages, I am showing some geometric rough notes of mathematically building different consecutive polyhedra from scratch, using conveniences of SketchUp

Icosahedron & Its component

17 of 140

17

This is a 3 frequency Icosahedron; usually they divide the Edges of the triangles into 3 sections and project that onto the sphere, but i project the icosahedral triangle onto the sphere first, then divide every edge into 3 segments, this has advantages in certain types of construction, due to more number of equal edges

Icosahedral triangles are equilateral, so this dome consists of 20 X 9 = 180 triangles, and every 60 triangle is exactly identical

Each of 6 colors (2x4) s are unique pieces of wood, hexahedrons with no 90’ angles

All The (2x4)s in this page are different irregular diamond and not a rectangular 2x4

21 of 140

21

Managed to make a component, each of the six unique boards,

So edges and angles can be individually measured

22 of 140

Working on a 4v icosahedron the woodwork (2x4s) on one triangle is ready, the component at the left is an actual component, which is repeated 60 times in the geodesic sphere

In this

Here the pentagon derived from the icosahedron remains while the icosahedron is deleted, yet the three golden rectangle skeleton is still there.

Architectural Geometry Exercise: Rhombicosidodecahedron By Tuğrul Yazar

This is a Rombicosidodecahedron

32 of 140

RhomBicosidodecahedron, is an icosahedron and a dodecahedron around it, both polyhedra have same edge, once we pull the faces of the polyhedra out they form this...

In the process to constructing a Pentagonal Dodecahedron base Geodome, using SketchUp

I have come up with a triangle component above to create the Geodesic structure

36 of 140

36

This is a geodesic dodecahedron, it consists of 60 similar triangles and every corner resides on a single sphere, these are geodesic codes of strength

40 of 140

40

This is a 2 frequency dodecahedron 60 repetitions of 4 unique triangles,

41 of 140

41

Here every edge of the component has been devided into a five segment curve having all corners on a sphere this is going to be a 5 frequency dome

42 of 140

42

Here i draw curves divided by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 segment connecting 2 side curves which were divided into 5 segments

43 of 140

43

The pentadome

5 frequency geodesic pentagonal dodecahedron;

It has 15 different sizes of triangles but they are close in size

25 X 60 = 1500 triangles total

The left and right small triangles within a bigger triangle, are equal in size but angles are “Opposites”. So in fact there maybe more variation of triangles depending on the constrution method

44 of 140

44

This is Pentagonal Dodecahedron based Geodesic dome, each pentagon is divided into 5 triangles, each edge of such triangle is divided by 5 sections,

I have divided the edges projected onto the sphere, instead of dividing lines before projection, more uniformity is achieved this way, ofcourse this work for isosceles triangles

Penta-dome

45 of 140

45

A pentagonal Dodecahedron, is ideal for a Geodesic Dome, because each pentagon can be divided into five triangles, and this makes 60 identical triangles to work with in construction,

This one is a 6 frequency, each edge of a triangle is divided into 6 sections,

In the next video

I have

used the method

Here, in the next page, the paulyheadron is completely constructed,

Attention that the component is not an actual component of the dome, it is only a component that worked for my sketchup project, in reality there are many overlaps of the faces which are not visible. An actual component for construction might not exist
