The American Institute of Architects calls the geodesic dome “the strongest, lightest and most efficient means of enclosing space known to man.” Its spherical form is composed of triangular facets, birthed from Buckminster Fuller’s goal of creating a structure analogous to nature’s own designs. Pacific Domes’ ambition is to promote the architectural integrity of the geodesic dome while showcasing beautiful and mathematically perfect geodesic geometry in structures that are futuristic, sustainable and visually inspiring.

As the leading builder of Geodesic Domes in the USA for over 35 years, we are also on the forefront of Event and Festival Marketing with our stunning projection Trade Show Booths showcasing colorful branding messages inside and out. Our clients include Nike, Nissan, the NBA, NASA, Google and many other industry giants who rely on us for impactful Event Marketing Structures.

Our Dome Houses are favored Dwell Domes of the Tiny Home Movement and are featured accommodations in world-class resorts across the globe like Eco-Camp Patagonia in Chile, and White Pod Resorts in the Swiss Alps.

Geodesic Domes are the strongest structure known in the architectural world. Our domes are portable, quick and easy to assemble. They packed down into the smallest container and grow into the largest engineered structures.

There are two reasons domes are energy efficient. The ambient airflow inside the dome is continuous, with no stagnant corners, requiring less energy to circulate air and maintain even temperatures. The energy required to heat and cool a dome is approximately 30% less than a conventional building. The second is the high volume-to-surface-area ratio, requiring less building materials to enclose more space. The lower the ratio of a building’s outside perimeter to its enclosed living area, the less energy is required for building, heating and cooling.The sphere has 25% less surface area per volume enclosed than any other shape. The dome combines the inherent stability of triangles with the advantageous volume-to-surface-area ratio of a sphere. The larger the dome, the more efficient it becomes. This is demonstrated by doubling the diameter, which encloses eight times the volume.

Geodesic Domes

Buckminster Fuller’s lifelong goal was the development of what he called “Comprehensive Anticipatory Design Science”– the attempt to anticipate and solve humanity’s major problems through the highest technology by providing “more and more life support for everybody, with less and less resources.” “Bucky” is best known for the invention of the geodesic dome–the lightest, strongest, and most cost-effective structure ever devised. The geodesic dome is able to cover more space without internal supports than any other enclosure. It becomes proportionally lighter and stronger the larger it is. The geodesic dome is a breakthrough in shelter, not only in cost-effectiveness, but in ease of construction and energy efficiency. The geometry allows proper circulation of the ambient air with little energy input.

 

Geodesic Domes: A Sacred Space

All of life is sacred.
All of life is geometric.
Thus geometry is the foundation of all of life.
Geometry is the universal language of creation.
It is the structure of the universe.
Pyramid means fire in the middle created by singularity.
The geodesic dome is a multidimensional pyramid.

R. Buckminster Fuller–inventor, architect, engineer, mathematician, poet and cosmologist was one of the most enlightened mystics of the last century. Fuller was truly a man ahead of his time.
