Star Dome 2
Star Dome 2 is a new
exclusive dome design. It's structure is based on dodecahedron
geometry, with a tessellation or tiling of stars on the pentagon
faces. There are six upright pentagrams (5-point stars) and three are
upside-down,
shortened to make a flat ground level, and with the bottom star point
deleted.
First drawing shows the top, front, side
and
pictorial views of the connected stars:
Star Dome 2 is ideal for
approximate
sizes: 12, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35 feet in diameter. This unusual dome is
eye-catching with the familiar 5-point star design. It makes a tall
dome
with area below the hemisphere level. There are A, B, and C types with
3 divisions of the spaces between the stars. See TOP
VIEWS.
Two newest designs remove the bottom upside down star to create
entrance or window openings- see below.
Next image shows the Star Dome 2-C type.
Proportions
are for a 20 ft diameter, and made from 2 x 4 wood. As
shown
there are 255 struts. About 120 2 x 4 x 8 ft boards are required to
make
the 20 ft dome.
