You’ve probably heard of geo domes, but what exactly are they? Why are they able to be used for such diverse purposes – in diverse climates and settings – worldwide? And why the increased interest in them for both business and personal use? A few reasons include:

Geodesic Domes – Harmonious and Inspiring:

 Geo domes are half-spherical structures, small or large, from private residences to giant public facilities.  These structures are made through a system of strategically placed triangles to form a geodesic spherical surface. Domes are spherical like the planets, yet contain the power of a perfect human design, the triangle. Which is why domes have been called natures perfect structure. They require fewer building materials, and are highly energy efficient, so they’re more eco-friendly and in harmony with nature, and because of their elegant simplicity, they complement any environment.  Their self-contained structure allows for unobscured views within and without, allowing for possibilities such as transforming your space into a giant audio-visual experience. 

Geodesic Domes – Minimal Cost, Maximum Efficiency

Geodesic domes can provide maximum enclosed interior space in relation to external surface. They have secured world records for the largest enclosed volume and covered surface. This is what allows domes to use far less construction material than cube shaped buildings. Holding world records for construction speed, domes offer quick and easy construction. And because their design is geodesic, domes have no corners to trap air. Thus heating and cooling are both more efficient, while the curved exterior surface deflects unwanted heat or cold.

Geodesic Domes – Strong, Safe, Long-Lasting

Strong and safe, they’re engineered to handle even hurricane force winds and heavy snow loads. Because of the inherent strength of structures that are geodesic, domes are used at the South Pole because of their ability to withstand extreme conditions. Geo domes have been used since the ancient Asian yurts, to today’s state-of-the-art military facilities, showing they are able to stand the test of time. Domes have been adopted by various cultures across the globe, from Turkish shopping centers to civic centers in Europe, from arenas in Japan to Disney World’s Epcot center.
