Synergetics

I’m not convinced RBF would have designed domes the way they are commonly designed. Usually, they are designed to minimize the number of piece sizes, and to minimize the thickness of the dome surface. In contrast, RBF disparaged not only cartesian coordinates, but also classical emphasis upon regularity. Classical regularity is great (group theory is all about regularity), but I find irregularity easier to design. Simply choose random planes, and make a dome from the facets between the inside and outside of the space. Such a dome would have a thick surface in which humans could live, leaving the inside of the dome for plants and animals.
