Geodesic Octahedron

Octahedron


Octahedron
  • Uniform Polyhedron: U5
  • Platonic Solid
  • Platonic Element: Air
  • Wythoff symbol: 4|2 3
  • Symmetry Group: octahedral
  • Vertex Configuration: {3, 3, 3, 3}
  • Dual: cube
  • V: s3 / 3 * √2
  • A: s2 * 8 / 4 * √3
  • rinner: s / 6 * √6
  • router: s / 2 * √2
  • Vertices/Connectors: 6 (4-way)
  • Faces: 8 (3-sided)
  • Edges/Struts:
    • A x 12: 1.41421
Octahedron looks very suitable for a dome construction, straight hemisphere line.

The L1 is the same as the original aka L0, since there are just triangles, so jump direct on the L2.

Geodesic Octahedron L2

  • Edges/Struts:
    • A x 24: 0.76537
    • B x 24: 1.00000
    • total 48 struts (2 kinds)
    • strut variance 30.7%

    • 6 x 4-way
    • 60 x 6-way

    • D x 24: 0.54120
    • E x 24: 0.57735
    • total 192 struts (5 kinds)
    • strut variance 47.9%

  • Vertices/Connectors: 41
    • 4 x 3-way
    • 13 x 4-way
    • 24 x 6-way
  • Faces: 64 (3-sided)

  • Octahedron Dome L3 Construction Map
  • Edges/Struts:
    • A x 32: 0.39018
    • B x 24: 0.42291
    • C x 24: 0.51764
    • D x 12: 0.54120
    • E x 12: 0.57735
    • total 104 struts (5 kinds)
    • strut variance 47.9%

d= A= x 32, B= x 24, C= x 24, D= x 12, E= x 12,
The L3 has even a square skylight, but likely it needs to be composed by triangles so the rain flows down from the top. I likely build a L3 as a model to explore the details.
