PATENT NUMBER 3493499 (March 31, 1993)


5 fold rotational smmetry axis

I found the structure in May 1998 during my researches on quasi-periodic pattern.

It consists of 180 rods based on Dodecahedral symmetry. It stands itself.

There is no glue nor strings.

There is a spherical dome inside. If we make big one, we can enter inside.

This work got the Silver Prize at the International Design Competition Osaka, 1999.
