# Light Graffiti Games The Nikolaus Dome-Home Challenge By G. | Published 2008-12-10 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nikolaus-met-bauersfeld-met-fuller References: [bfi.org](http://www.bfi.org/our_programs/bfi_community/geodesic_dome_drawing_game_zendome_nikolaus_innovation_fusion_cupola_education/geodesic_dome_drawing_) & [mathematische-basteleien.de](http://www.mathematische-basteleien.de/house.html) Here's a light graffiti take on a traditional German drawing game called “This is the House of Santa Claus." Typically, the challenge is to draw a house in one line, not lifting the pencil while drawing, and not repeating one of eight straight lines ([Traditional!](http://www.mathematische-basteleien.de/house.html)) What will happen if you transfer this drawing tradition into today’s thinking and use modern technology? Fusion Innovation! Based on the ideas of Walther Wilhelm Johannes Bauersfeld (1879-1959) and the [geodesic structure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/belalu-dome-villa) of Richard Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983), the Zendome-team thought about it for some time and came up with “8 + 1." Simply draw a cupola with one line, add one more, and you are able to draw Santa’s very own Dome-Home. It's your turn now! Do you want to try drawing the geodesic house of Santa Claus yourself? A short-cut to how we did it can be found with the light-writing by Marcus Bläsing ([New Home of Santa](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtAmPU5-lc0)). To support your drawing, either make up your own sentence or try something like “This geo-desic dome makes Santa feel at home.” ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 5% | Activity: 76% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarre) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Light Graffiti:** Opportunity to create interactive and visually stunning experiences using light-based artwork. - **Fusion Innovation:** Combining traditional drawing games with modern technology to create new and exciting experiences. - **Geodesic Structures:** Exploring the use of geodesic structures in art and design for unique and innovative creations. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Art and Design:** Applying light graffiti techniques in various art installations and exhibitions. - **Entertainment:** Using fusion innovation to enhance interactive experiences in theme parks, museums, and entertainment venues. - **Architecture:** Exploring the use of geodesic structures in building design and construction for unique and sustainable architectural solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Virtually Staged Holiday Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/north-pole-cabin-on-zillow.md) - [Playful Holiday Tracking Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/google-santa-tracker.md) - [Virtual Holiday Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wishfultree.md) - [Neon Illuminated Christmas Trees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fluorescence.md) - [Virtual AI Snow Globes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/piccadilly-lights-1.md) - [Interactive Creativity Home Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doodle-interactive-wall.md) - [Miniature Spherical Replica Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-sphere.md) - [Abstract Fantasy Home Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/abstract-fantasy-home.md) - [Festive Rooftop Parking Spots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parking-space-for-santa.md)
