Geodesic physical model: bamboo structure

The first module that I made was the bamboo structure. This is something which could be clad in some form of sheeting or textile to be used as a temporary structure. Alternatively, this would be the structural base to apply rigid formwork onto, for casting.

To make this section, I used lengths cut from bamboo skewers, with card cones to create the node hubs, and it was stuck together with superglue.
