ABSTRACT:
A domical structure is provided in concert with, and as an embodiment of, a novel means for subdividing the spherical surface into spherical triangles which are appropriate as constructional elements. The method of subdivision permits a high degree of standardization in terms of limiting the number of different elements utilized and it results in element proportions and dimensions which allow the most efficient utilization of standard construction materials.
