It started with an article in Sunset Magazine in the late 1970s. The author provided directions for constructing a 2 frequency icosahedral geodesic dome from cardboard. Although the article gave clear instructions, the dome could not be enlarged or made smaller, and the construction technique was difficult and confusing. After completing the dome, we thought, “There has to be a better way!”

Here it is  Domebook provides the builder with the “multiplication factors” needed to scale any of its nine domes to any size, and the simplified construction technique (similar to putting the peels back on an orange) is quick and nearly foolproof.

You don’t have to take our word for it. The pictures on this site prove that constructing a cardboard geodesic dome is truly child’s play.
