I Built an Open-Source 3D Configurator for Geodesic Shelters
Three.js, vanilla JavaScript, 23 modules, 10 languages, and zero frameworks. Here is how it works.

The Hyposphere: A Thought Experiment in Pressurized Geometry
The panel math is elegant. The engineering reality is brutal. Here is both.
The Shape of Shelter
Why a truncated icosahedron built from hardware store lumber might be the most practical structure you have never heard of
Why Not a Dome? Geodesic vs Modular Prismatic Design
Domes are strong and beautiful but there are good reasons we chose a different geometry
The Geometry of Everything Else: How the Thiosphere Platform Works
Why the base module system matters more than any single product built on it
The Geometry of Immersion: How the Immosphere Works
Why a double-shell truncated icosahedron is the ideal shape for a dedicated entertainment space
The Geometry of Focus: How the Ergosphere Works
Why a double-shell truncated icosahedron is a better office than anything in your house
The Geometry of Light: How the Agrosphere Works
Why a double-shell truncated icosahedron grows more food per square foot than a conventional greenhouse
The Geometry of Heat: How the Saunosphere Works
Why a double-shell truncated icosahedron is a better sauna than a box or a barrel
First Principles Solutioning
Why copying best practices keeps you average, and solving from fundamentals can make you exceptional
The Lessons in Teardown
What I learned about design by taking existing products apart
Not Your Buckys Dome
Why the Thiosphere isn't a geodesic dome (and why that matters for your build)
