The 'big ball' at Epcot in Orlando Florida, is a Geodesic sphere. The old dome-like playground equipment is based on the same structure as a geodesic dome. I've posted a couple of links about geodesic domes with some pictures.

It is a shell because the structure is with a hallow, curved shape
a dome that is built out from straight parts

C60 is called buckminsterfullerene because its molecular structure is similar to the geodesic dome designs created by architect Buckminster Fuller. The molecule consists of 60 carbon atoms arranged in a spherical shape with hexagonal and pentagonal rings, resembling the structure of a geodesic dome.
Answer:You can make a geodesic dome.
The basic concept of a geodesic dome is very simple. It is composed of a series of triangles, and the triangle is a rigid shape. That's why the dome stays up.

The largest geodesic dome is the Fantasy Entertainment Complex and is located in Kyosho Isle, Japan. It stands at 710 feet.
