The polyhedron, upon which most geodesic domes are based, is the icosahedron.
The icosahedron has 20 equilateral triangle faces. By subdividing the icosahedron face into smaller triangles, then "pushing" the triangle vertices outward (to the surface of a circumscribing sphere,) a more-complex triangulated polyhedron can be produced -- a "geodesic" sphere, or dome.
By subdividing the icosahedron face into greater-and-greater numbers of smaller-and-smaller triangles, more complex geodesic spheres/domes are produced.

Egyptians excelled in the geometric forms of what?
Egyptians excelled in many geometric forms, including squares, triangles (pyramids), and spheres.
What are shell and frame structures sometimes with geodesic form?
Shell structures are curved thin shell forms made from reinforced concrete or steel, known for their strength and efficiency in transferring loads. Frame structures are composed of interconnected beams and columns to support loads. Geodesic forms combine the strength of shell structures with the efficiency of frame structures, using a network of interconnected triangular elements to create a geodesic dome or structure.
What is the definition of geometric?
Geometric means (1) "relating to geometry" or (2) "having simple geometric forms such as circles and squares in design or decoration."
What is lava domes?
A lava domes is a structure that forms when a volcano extrudes very viscous lava that builds into a dome-shaped pile rather than flow downhill.
Are forms geomertic or organic?
Forms can be both geometric and organic, depending on their characteristics. Geometric forms are characterized by precise, mathematical shapes like circles or squares, while organic forms are irregular, flowing, and often found in nature, like the shape of a leaf or a cloud. Some forms may exhibit elements of both geometric and organic qualities.
What geometric figure forms the base of a cone?
A circle.
Can forms be either geometric or organic?

How can geometric forms represent organic forms?
Yes forms usually are either organic or geometric. Organic shapes resemble shapes usually met in nature; the gentle curve of a tree branch, the floral or a rock for example. Geometric shapes are easy to draw and measure with rulers and other devices. Usual geometric shapes are symmetric like circle, square, triangle, cross... for example. Geometric shapes can also be asymmetric.
