Geodesic dome   (Engelsk)

Definition

A polyhedron (or part of one) formed as follows:
Take a polyhedron and its circumsphere. Replace each face of the polyhedron by some configuration of (identical isosceles) triangles, and raise the new vertices so formed so that they lie on the circumsphere.
There are many different geodesic domes, corresponding to different choices of initial polyhedron and different configurations of triangles to replace the faces.
