I run workshops about the use of modular systems in facilitating non-expert participation in architecture. One I did (at the CAAD Futures Conference in 2023) was with Zometool. It was a blast and really successful.
In preparation I also got to interview the late great Steve Baer, inventor of the Zome (among many other things - seriously look him up, he's one of the most brilliant people of the past 100 years imo). It was a huge honor.
The book chapter the organizers were supposed to do about the conference workshops never materialized (hrmph), but I've done other little collaborative build projects since, so one day I'll document them all together.
This kit is how I discovered zometool ten years ago and still find it fascinating. Its amazing! Check out vZome and its associated discord. FOSS virtualzome builder and symmetry study tool.
Zometool rules!

Thanks a bunch. I did not know about vZome. Thanks for the introduction.
Any George Hart aficionados around..?
For the longest time I did not know that Vi was his daughter.
yeah I dig it a fair bit. It's good for making jigs for carpenting geometric stuff. Those funny angles.
