But are geodesic structures usually used to enclose a space!?
Often, yes. But many others are just an open framework. I think I see the
problem here... Navvieİ pictured a small dome house inside a boat, and said to
himself 'that can't possibly be.'
The term 'geodesic' is defined by the shape & relationship of the structural
elements, not by wether it encloses a space. Geodesic structures were invented
by Buckminster Fuller, whose career is worth some study if only for
entertainment value, and he also created the word itself.
