About Geodesic Domes

Geodesic Domes are self supporting shell-shaped structures which do not require any support column. They were made popular by the American scientist Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983).

The geodesic dome is the most lightweight, sturdy and financially viable structure ever built by a man. The lighter and stronger it is, the larger.
