ABSTRACT:
My invention relates to a tetrahedral-octahedral truss construction system for shell framework of icosahedral-spherical, and/or part-spherical structures, which are based on the regular icosahedron. The system is represented by a central nucleus and by a sequentially ordered infinite set of ever-increasing, space-filling truss layer shells, which are constructed from triangular units of equal size, equal angular values and identical proportions. Icosahedral-spherical truss shells can be constructed of single, double and multiple layers.
