Yes, geodesic architecture can be combined with traditional building materials like wood or brick. The fundamental structure of a geodesic dome is typically composed of triangular panels made of lightweight materials such as metal or plastic, but the exterior of the dome or the interior walls can be constructed using traditional materials.
For example, you could use wood or brick to create the outer shell or cladding of a geodesic dome, providing a more traditional appearance while still benefiting from the unique structural advantages of the geodesic design. Similarly, in the interior, you can use traditional materials like wood or brick for walls, flooring, or other finishes, blending the aesthetics of both approaches.
Combining geodesic architecture with traditional materials allows for the creation of visually appealing structures that retain the integrity and strength of geodesic design while incorporating familiar or desired materials for practical or aesthetic reasons.
