ABSTRACT:
An improved folding dome-like modular building structure composed of 48 flexibly interconnected equal right isoceles triangles. Each building structure is formed from a series of four flexibly connected modules of 12 triangles each. The modules are connected in alternating right and left-handed mirror image sequence. Each triangle is defined by struts. The improvements lie in the provision of intermediate cuts and hinged joints in certain of the struts to facilitate folding of the structure into a compact mass. Variations of the basic building structure are disclosed. The building structures may be open or partially open framework or they may be enclosed by a fabric or film covering.
