Description:
New to the Second Edition
New Foreword by Joseph Clinton, lifelong Buckminster Fuller collaborator
A new chapter by Chris Kitrick on the mathematical techniques for developing optimal single-edge hexagonal tessellations, of varying density, with the smallest edge possible for a particular topology, suggesting ways of comparing their levels of optimization
An expanded history of the evolution of spherical subdivision
New applications of spherical design in science, product design, architecture, and entertainment
New geodesic algorithms for grid optimization
New full-color spherical illustrations created using DisplaySphere to aid readers in visualizing and comparing the various tessellations presented in the book
Updated Bibliography with references to the most recent advancements in spherical subdivision methods
