]]> Comment on Architecture Studio Trip Part 1: Basel + Weil Am Rhein by Katrina Howard Fairley http://blogs.cornell.edu/cornellinrome/2010/02/16/architecture-studio-trip-part-1-basel-weil-am-rhein/comment-page-1/#comment-72 Katrina Howard Fairley Fri, 30 Sep 2011 12:16:45 +0000 http://blogs.cornell.edu/cornellinrome/?p=744#comment-72 Thought architectural students should know what a geodesic dome is. The Vitra dome is not geodesic and Buckminster Fuller had nothing to do with its design. Vitra bought this Charter-Sphere Dome used from someone in Detroit in 2000. Buckminster Fuller was an inventor, writer, lecturer, and a visionary. He patented the geometry for geodesic domes (all greater circle geometry). Charter-Sphere domes are based on lesser circle geometry. Thomas C. Howard of Synergetics, Inc, both a licensed architect and a licensed engineer, developed the Charter-Sphere domes after years of designing the first geodesic domes. The Charter-Sphere dome is easier to design and build than geodesic domes. Hundreds of these Charter-Sphere domes have been used at fairs, exhibitions and other temporary shows around the world since the 1960's (Sold or leased by Charter Industries, Inc in Raleigh, NC). Two Charter-Sphere Domes are still in use at Kennedy Space Center. Some of TC Howard's geodesic domes are the Union Tank Car Dome, The ASM Headquarter Geodesic Dome, The Climatron, The Queens Zoo Aviary, and the Poliedro de Caracas (the World's largest clear-span structure at the time it was built 1974). As students, do not believe everything you read (especially exhibit signs). Question what people tell you about design. And if you are fortunate enough to ever design something that is actually built, self promote it: describe it in your own words and make sure your name is on all of the drawings! Good Luck!
