What is a dome Structure?

It is the base structure for geodesic domes, are the pieces that Are cut in different custom sizes to form the various sizes are defined according to the frequency of the geodesic dome and the materials, which makes a set for your projects of eco-tourism and particular solutions.

The trend in architecture is leaning towards the domes in the present. Whether to create a green space in the garden of our home, to create spaces for air-conditioned or to build a home complete with rooms, a bathroom, kitchen, etc,

Build a geodesic dome is a cost-effective and rapid, that delivers a wide range of uses. You can have a greenhouse, a space for the kids, a log cabin, or any other project you have in mind. How easy is that!

History Geodesic Domes

The concept of the geodesic domes, was developed by the mathematician and american architect Richard Buckminster Fuller in the early TWENTIETH century. Fuller was interested in the mathematical theory of the sphere a geodesic, and believed that could be applied to the construction of buildings. In 1948, Fuller patented his design of a geodesic dome and started to build prototypes.

The first important use of a geodesic dome was in the New York world's fair of 1964, where he built a geodesic dome is 27 metres in diameter as a display.

Over the years, geodesic domes have evolved in terms of materials and construction techniques, but his basic concept of using geometry to create structures, self-supporting and resilient remains the same. Currently, geodesic domes are widely recognized as an innovative and efficient way to build living spaces and versatile.

benefits and advantages of a geodesic dome

They have a number of properties that make them ideal for use as buildings, contain a greater amount of volume with the least surface area, that means that you can obtain large surfaces clear without intermediate columns in the buildings.

Possess a flexible design.

Weather resistance.

Maintain a good temperature.

Freedom of Design.

Lightweight materials and flexible.

Sound insulation.

Solid Structure.

Fast Construction.

Eco-friendly.

Often in a geodesic dome

We call frequency-a measure used to indicate the number of subdivisions that are made in the triangle of the icosahedron that form the dome. The higher the frequency the greater will be the divisions and will be greater its strength and the perfection of the curvature.

The choice of the frequency varies according to the requirements of each building, assessment required in function of certain diameters to achieve the efficiency in terms of strength and quantity of the materials.

Freq I

Freq II

Freq III

Freq IV

Types of Structures

A geodesic dome can be made of different materials, such as wood, steel, aluminum or fiberglass. The choice of material depends on factors such as the resistance, and durability, as well as the cost and aesthetics.

Wood

Metal

Wood - Metal

Some materials are more resistant to rough weather and climate changes, while others offer a more elegant look, or a construction more light.

It is important to choose a suitable material to ensure the safety and durability of the structure of the geodesic dome.

Kits Dome Do-it-yourself

Our kit (do-it-Yourself) of Geodesic Domes come with all the parts, carefully selected and the manual with step-by-step so you don't lose detail in its construction. We also offer the services of tech that will guide you in the process.

You can create different projects, Cottages, first and second home, workshop, yoga workshop, handicraft, shops , gyms and other more.

According to the diameter, you can add a apron, and thus to achieve a higher living area or useful spaces such as attics or games room

Steps of Construction of a geodesic dome

The construction process can vary depending on the scale and complexity of the structure, as well as the materials used. However, in general, a typical process of building a geodesic dome includes the following steps:

It is important to carefully follow the procedures and specific recommendations for the construction of each type of dome to ensure a safe structure and durable.
