Zomeworks Corporation

Zomeworks Corporation, currently a leader in the field of Passive Solar Energy products, was incorporated in 1969. The focus was on the building of Zomes – dome shaped zonohedra living spaces; in New Mexico, Colorado, California and beyond. We also built Zome playground climbers and even a Gibbon Flight Cage for the Albuquerque zoo. The 31-Zone Structural System, a space frame system for which we were awarded a patent, was developed into a modeling kit, made of specialized plastic ball joints and different sized sticks sold as the Zometoy. In the 1980s this structural system was discovered in nature as Quasicrystals by John Cahn and other scientists at the National Institute of Standards, who purchased Zomeworks modeling kits and the Zome Primer which describes the mathematics of the system. The manufacture of the Zometoy modeling system was licensed to Zometool, Inc (formerly Biocrystals, Inc.) in Colorado who made improvements and currently manufactures & markets the kit as Zometool.
