Geodesic domes
Leonardo da Vinci (1452 – 1519) studied Platonic and Archimedean solids and designed on the basis of the Icosaeder the first globular spatial structure.
R. Buckminster Fuller (1895 – 1983) completed the research which Leonardo had begun: With his version of structure, similar to a C60-molecule, emerged the form which we all know today as a football. This buckyball shows twelve black pentagonal faces, which are surrounded by 20 white hexagonal faces.
In our product group Geos, da Vinci’s and Fuller’s sophisticated accidence is realised congenially – and playfully.
With their structures Leonardo da Vinci and Fuller provided the basis for the Geos climbing domes pictured above. The dome is suitable as roofage for a play area. It fits aesthetically into urbane spaces and serves at the same time as a climbing frame.
