Geodesic Domes

Buckminster Fuller 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.

• The geodesic dome 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.

• Today over 300,000 domes dot the globe. Source: http://www.ideafinder.com/history/inventions/geodesicdome.htm
