"after three years of intensive search for a basic geometry for the shell
complex I arrived in october 1961 at the spherical solution shown here
"I call this my "key to the shells" because it solves all the problems of
construction by opening up for mass production, precision in manufacture and
simple erection and with this geometrical system I attain full harmony between
all the shapes in this fantastic complex"
