13.05.2022 Not quite a geodesic dome, but pretty darn cool in any case. http://www.mymodernmet.com//blogs/richie-duncan-kodama-zome

29.04.2022 Dome Fact: Because domes have at least 30% less surface area than other shaped buildings it takes at least 30% less energy to heat or cool them. The same size building with the same volume and the same thickness insulation takes at least 30% more energy to heat or cool just because it’s not dome shaped. ... Long thin building and building with extensions perform worst of all.

27.04.2022 Did you know that a triangle is twice as strong as a rectangle? A geodesic sphere uses the "doing more with less" principle in that it encloses the largest volume of interior space with the least amount of surface area thus saving on materials and cost. When a sphere's diameter is doubled it will quadruple its square meterage and produce eight times the volume.... More specifically, the dome is energy efficient for many reasons: - It’s decreased surface area requires less building materials. - Exposure to cold in the winter and heat in the summer is decreased because, being spherical, there is the least surface area per unity of volume per structure. - The concave interior creates a natural airflow that allows the hot or cool air to flow evenly throughout the dome with the help of return air ducts. - Extreme wind turbulence is lessened because the winds that contribute to heat loss flow smoothly around the dome. - It acts like a type of giant down-pointing headlight reflector and reflects and concentrates interior heat. This helps prevent radiant heat loss.

13.04.2022 Geodesic design never fails to impress. Buckminster Fuller theorised that if you could build a geodesic sphere large enough, it would take only a 1 degree shift in Fahrenheit internally to make the entire structure float in the air. Genius indeed. http://www.geniusstuff.com//flying-cities-buckminster-ful/

01.04.2022 Strictly limited offer of 20% discount is on now! Our factory facility setup is now ready to take orders. As our way of saying thank you to our early adopters, we are offering a massive 20% discount on all orders started this month only.... This equates to around USD$20,000 on a 12m dome! ** Onforwarding costs from destination port to your location, nor actual construction is included in our dome pricing. Speak with us to discuss your individual build requirements for further information. Discount amount above based on the cost of a 12m dome, being USD$100,000. Current sizes include 6m, 9m, 12m, 15m and 18m diameter geodesic domes. Price guide by request.

13.03.2022 40ft, 50ft and 60ft (12m, 15m, 18m) all in a row. What is it about a geodesic dome that you love?
