Why Have a Geodesic Dome?

Geodesic domes are very efficient
Domes are aerodynamic structures, so they can withstand earthquakes and hurricanes without a problem (there is even a study about it)! The distribution of weight across the dome is the most efficient you can think of. Stress is equally distributed along the entire structure!

What is the point of a geodesic dome?

The geodesic design is a perfect marriage of the sturdy arch and the rigid triangle, which enables dome homes to be extremely strong. They can withstand high winds, earthquakes and heavy snow, making them ideal structures for any type of environment, especially in an increasingly volatile climate.

What is the spiritual purpose of a dome?

Domes and tent-canopies were also associated with the heavens in Ancient Persia and the Hellenistic-Roman world. A dome over a square base reflected the geometric symbolism of those shapes. The circle represented perfection, eternity, and the heavens. The square represented the earth.
