Progressive geodesic structure

In 1930, Bukminster Fuller designed geodesic domes using a nearly constant-sized triangular module, keeping them lightweight as they primarily support their own weight. Inspired by geometric shapes, I developed an innovative structure featuring a progressive module with larger triangles at the base that gradually reduce in size along a helical spiral to the top vertex. By utilizing varying diameter pipes for different triangles, this model boasts a 20-meter base diameter and tubes ranging from 6" to small 1/2" for upper circles. The visually appealing design awaits further sizing calculations to prove its construction advantages.
