Help- Geodesic Dome- Beginner Grasshopper

Please, i'm student in architecture and I would like to create a geodesic dome based on a triangular grid, and a recursive generation, like in the image. I'm really lost please ! Capture%20d%E2%80%99%C3%A9cran%202016-03-18%20%C3%A0%2013.15.53.png

The goal is to construct in real life with balloons, in order to calculate and optimize the dimensions of the dome. It is possible to do that in grasshopper?

Hi all,

In this coffee&gh challenge you can find many more ways to create a regular icosahedron:

Shortest ones rely on golden ratio knowledge of geometry:

Thank you everyone for helping. We've constructed the geodesic dome ! It couldn't have been possible without your advises :)

Best,

Alexander Graham Bell who invented the telephone made precursors of the airplane using tetrahedrons, whereas Bucky Fuller who patented the geodesic dome suggested building six thousand occupant floating cities to solve Japan's overcrowding:
