Interconnecting members are provided for building up geodesic dome-like structures. In a first embodiment, there are provided strut members forming the edges of triangles utilized in the geodesic dome structure and gusset members provided at the vertices of the various formed triangles interconnecting with the ends of the strut members. The ends of the strut members and the gusset members are provided with cooperating integrally formed lip and recess portions arranged to be interlocked together, elastic resiliency of portions of the gusset member being provided to both enable the members to lie at an angle to each other and to be held in their interlocked relationship. In a second embodiment, the members making up the structural enclosure comprise triangular sheets of material, the side edges of the various triangular sheets having a series of projections and recessed generally of T-shaped configurations for interlocking with adjacent side edges of other triangular members, there again being provided resiliency in the T-shapes so that the members can lie at angles to each other and be held in their interlocked relationship by the resiliency involved while building up a geodesic dome structure.
