Geodesic Domes
Covering the largest area with
the least amount of material,
the geodesic dome structure
is acclaimed by the American
Institute of Architects as “the
strongest, lightest and most
efficient means of enclosing
space known to man.”
Aerodynamic, earthquake-
resistant, portable and
energy-efficient, Buckminster
Fuller created the geodesic
dome as an expression of his
desire to protect and advance
all life and provide “more
and more life support for
all humanity, with less and
less resources.” Utilizing the
dynamics of tensegrity, the
structure of nature, and the
synergetic geometry of the
sphere, the geodesic dome is
perfectly balanced and creates
a resonance field with all life
around it.
