A view from inside.
Another view from inside.
A close up of the connection, looking straight up.
Yet another view from inside.
It is very vibrant, but that was more to do with the fact that I found coloured matchsticks and couldn't be bothered finding boring coloured ones! To create this structure, I started by making triangles. I chose triangles over pentagons or hexagons (such as were in Buckminster Fuller's plans) as they were the easiest to construct. I hot glued each corner, and then hot glued the triangles together. As I was placing them, the arranged into hexagons and pentagons, and started to fold and rise in an awesome way! I really like the model, I think it is very tactile (for all the fact that it looks like a Grade 3 student made it!!!!) and very vibrant. The next challenge is to model it on the computer. Yuk.
