Geodesicalli Arquitectura Geodésica

Proyecto In Lakesh, Ruta de los Cenotes, Puerto Morelos, Quintana Roo

Tenemos lotes y hectáreas en venta, en La Ruta de los Cenotes, de Puerto Morelos, Quintana Roo.

Nos ponemos a la orden, en el área de Tepoztlán, Morelos.

Terrenos en venta sobre la ruta de los cenotes de Puerto Morelos, para proyectos ecoturísticos.

Ideal para hacer glamping, permacultura, y desarrollos sustentables.

También fabricamos los kits geodésicos de acero galvanizado, con cubierta de lona PVC de cualquier dimensión.

Vamos a empezar el año fabricando estos geodésicos glamping. Info por inbox.

"The Gold Dome
1112 NW 23rd St,
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
35.492489, -97.531219 

In 1958, the Citizens State Bank began construction. The Gold Dome building was the fifth geodesic dome constructed in the world and the first to be used as a bank. It was described as “one of the nation’s most revolutionary bank designs.” Using the geodesic dome design created by futurist and architect Buckminster Fuller."

“Kepler followed Proclus and believed that 'the main goal of Euclid was to build a geometric theory of the so-called Platonic solids.' Kepler was fascinated by Proclus and often quotes him calling him a 'Pythagorean'.” ― C. Smoryński

Platonic solids were revived during the 16 th century by German astronomer Jogannes Kepler, in his Harmonices Mundi.

Campamento El arte del geodésico, impartido por el Arq. Miguel Ángel Luna, sábado 18 y domingo 19 de Diciembre del 2021, en Tlalnepantla Morelos.

Preciosa experiencia didáctica y práctica entre las montañas morelenses, aprendiendo el arte y ciencia de los domos geodésicos de Buckminster Fuller, explorando al mismo tiempo la tradición del cultivo del nopal, y el uso de la grana cochinilla como pigmento de origen prehispánico.

Dos días de talleres teorico-prácticos, en área rústica de campamento ecológico entre las bellísimas montañas de Tlalnepantla, al norte de Morelos, culminando con la construcción de un domo geodésico V3 de 4 metros de diámetro.

"I deliberately undertook an experiment to see what the little human being could do, if anything, on behalf of all humanity."
-R. Buckminster Fuller

"There is no energy crisis, food crisis, or environmental crisis. There is a crisis of ignorance."
-R. Buckminster Fuller

"There’s a major pattern of energy in the universe wherein the very large events, earthquakes and so forth, occur in any one area of the universe very much less frequently than do the small energy events. Around the Earth insects occur more often than do earthquakes. In the patterning of total evolutionary events, there comes a time, once in a while, amongst the myriad of low energy events, when a large energy event transpires and is so disturbing that with their general adaptability lost, the ultra-specialized creatures perish."
-R. Buckminster Fuller

Congratulations to our friend Patrick.

Patrick Muvunga , designer, builder, community organizer, artist, and mentor to hundreds of other residents through the organization he founded, called Opportunigee , escaped persecution from his native Congo along with thousands of other displaced people. As a curious designer, he is committed to turning Nakivale Refugee Settlement into a canvas for his prototypes and art. It has become a place to express his passion for designing unique constructions such as plastic bottle houses, geodesic domes, and even an amphitheater. Patrick creates incredible buildings as art using geometry and mathematics of triangles and pulling these facets together.

This gel printed paper geodome was created by artist who wrote:

"I loved working with the dome, this architectural element that dates back to prehistoric times. Over the centuries domes have been constructed from many materials, including mud, snow, wood, stone, glass, and in my dome, paper!

"My piece, Floradome, is a geodesic dome, made up of a frame of triangles in a polyhedron pattern. The American engineer, Buckminster Fuller coined the term geodesic, from the Greek, meaning “measure of the Earth.” The dome is the strongest portable structure, designed to withstand hurricane force winds and heavy snow loads. The triangle, because of its fixed angles, is the strongest shape. Floradome aimes to communicate resilience."

One fascinating discovery of Buckminster Fuller was what he termed the Jitterbug, a transformation between the Vector Equilibrium (a), the Icosahedron (b) and the Octahedron (d).

The inherently unstable square faces of the Vector Equilibrium causes it to collapse, first into an icosahedral state (which is the same collapse that happens when you remove the nuclear sphere from the vector equilibrium and the spheres close pack into an icosahedron with no nuclear sphere). 6 rods would need to be added to stabilize the icosahedron (red). If those 6 bracings are not put into place, the collapse will continue till the triangular faces rotatingly find their way into an octahedral state. It does fully collapse to form the tetrahedron, although I have not illustrated that here.

Asia Initiatives (AI) is helping women farmers in the Konkan region of Maharashtra, India, take up the regenerative System of Rice Intensification (SRI), increasing farm productivity and incomes by managing labor, soil, water, and nutrients more effectively.

Women farmers then go on to teach SRI, making of bird perches and sticky traps etc. to other farmers in AI’s "Cascade of Up-skilling” model. They earn SoCCs (Social Capital Credits), AI’s community currency for social good for teaching others. Communities create their own SoCC Earning and Redeeming menus, earning SoCCs for helping their communities, and spending them on up-skilling, education, healthcare or low interest micro-credit for themselves and their families. The project is resulting in recognition of women farmers as leaders, economic actors and agents for poverty alleviation and food security.

Asia Initiatives (AI) leverages the power of social capital for projects like this, striving to bring definitive improvement in the quality of life of people, especially women and girls, in underserved communities.

The women are wearing bright dresses and the man is in black pants and a white top; everyone is wearing face masks. The women line up next to wooden sticks that are propped in the ground and bound with another stick to make a cross. There are mountains in the background. The photo is surrounded by black. The text and graphic is in white. On the top right is a geodesic dome. On the top left along the side it says . In large text on the bottom it says “Asia Initiatives.”]

Les dejo estas fotografías de una de las cúpulas geodésicas más grandes del mundo, obra del ingeniero Buckminster Fuller, de principios de los años 60s. Tiene un diámetro de 60 metros, y una altura de 28 metros. Se trata de la cúpula de el Centro Vacacional Oaxtepec, del Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social, en Morelos, México.

Su interior alberga un jardín botánico y un manantial de aguas sulfurosas de espectacular belleza, construído en el mismo sitio donde Moctezuma Ilhuicamina encomendó la construcción de su jardín etnobotánico y palacio de descanso en el siglo XV.

Este domo en particular, fué uno de los motivos por lo cual, decidí dedicarme a construir geodésicos, pues de niño visitaba este impresionante lugar, y siempre soñé con su maravillosa ingeniería.

"Initiative springs only from within the individual. Initiative can neither be created nor delegated. It can only be vacated. Initiative can only be taken by the the individual on his own self-conviction of the necessity to overcome his conditioned reflexing which has accustomed him heretofore always to yield authority to the wisdom of others. Initiative is only innate and highly perishable."
--R. Buckminster Fuller

“Human beings do not live at perfection, they do not live at zero— we are always aberrating.”
