Does anybody know Fullers precise calculations for the structural stability of domes or more details of Ottos case against it? Who is right?
[Chris Fearnley] Since no one has ever built such Very Large Structures, we can’t know for certain. But in dome theory the key variable is radius and no restrictions are placed on its value. So there is no reason to suspect that they wouldn’t work. In fact geometrically the only way they could break were if a joint poped or strut broke. This is why Fuller suggests using very high frequency geodesics for large structures.
