At one time or another, you may have heard of geo domes, but what exactly are they? How are they so versatile in their use – in any climate – anywhere? And why the increased interest in them for both business and personal use? Some key reasons are:
Geodesic Domes – Harmonious and Inspiring:
A Geo dome is a half-spherical building, large or small, used for purposes such as private residence or even enormous public facilities. A complex array of triangles are strategically placed in order to form a roughly spherical structure. 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. Domes are extremely eco-friendly. They are in harmony with nature. Minimal building materials are used in the construction of these highly energy efficient buildings. And because of their simple elegance, they conform to 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
They offer the highest ratio of enclosed interior space to external surface, and hold world records for largest enclosed volume and covered surface. Thus they use fewer building materials than wasteful box structures. Holding world records for construction speed, domes offer quick and easy construction. Because there are no corners for air to be trapped, heating and cooling a dome are much more efficient.
Geodesic Domes – Strong, Safe, Long-Lasting
Domes are constructed to endure hurricane force winds and large snow falls make them very strong and very safe. Domes are used in the South Pole because the extreme conditions are no match for the stability of a geodesic structure. Geo domes are time tested, from ancient homes such as Asian yurts, to cutting-edge uses today ranging from observatories to military installations. Geo domes can be seen worldwide, from arenas in Japan to civic centers in Europe, from shopping centers in Turkey to Disney’s Epcot Center in Florida.
