Why Use Domes
The name most readily associated with the Geodesic Dome is that of the late R. Buckminster (Bucky) Fuller. This 
American inventor discovered 
that when a sphere surface is divided into interlocking pentagons and hexagons, the structure produced has a phenomenal strength-to-weight ratio. He discovered that the triangle, the most rigid structural building element in all of nature, when used to form spherical shapes, became the strongest, lightest and most efficient building design and means of enclosing space known.
Nature's favoured structure
The sphere is nature's most favoured and efficient means of enclosing space. By combining the triangular form and the sphere, a self-supporting shell can be formed. This structure requires no interior load-bearing walls, roof beams or centre poles, and encloses the largest volume of interior space and the largest amount of unobstructed floor area using the least amount of surface area. If you double the sphere's diameter, it will quadruple the floor area and produce eight times the volume.
Doing More With Less
The Geodesic Dome is super-efficient for material usage. The dome framework, and interlocking system of triangles, produces the lightest, strongest, free-span self-supporting structure possible. Enclosing space with a minimum of surface area requires fewer materials for construction, resulting in a most energy-efficient and economical building system. In Fuller's famous words, it is doing more with less.
Stability
In spite of its simplicity, the geodesic dome is immensely strong and stable. Its aerodynamic shape can withstand powerful external pressure, such as wind, snow load and earthquakes. Its astounding ability has been tested to withstand five times more stress than required by building codes.
Energy-efficiency
Geodesic Dome structures are extremely energy-efficient. Air circulates freely in a dome without obstruction or ceiling level heat build-up. The ideal energy flow shape means that the geodesic dome uses 30 to 50 per cent less energy to heat and cool than a conventional home. There is also a third less exposed surface area to heat and cool than a conventional box structure, which increases efficiency again.
Ease of Construction
Geodesic Domes are very easy to build. With many identical parts, and because the basic shell is very light, they can be prefabricated and erected very quickly without any specialised equipment.
Uniqueness
With their vaulted ceilings, exquisite symmetries and tremendous spaciousness, Geodesic Domes inspire creativity and expansion. In particular, they are renowned for their unique acoustic properties. Aesthetically, the geodesic dome is a pleasure to behold. It is a simple, natural, very harmonious shape and blends in well with any environment. After all, there are no straight lines in nature. The womb-like interior of a geodesic dome creates an inward focus of centredness, freedom and tranquillity. A dome has no corners to be hide in or be pushed into!
Uses
The versatility of the Geodesic Dome allows it to be put to a variety of uses: Corporate events, weddings, trade shows, exhibitions, festivals, fairs, concerts, circuses, sporting events, dance studio, school hall, emergency shelter, planetarium, eco village, dance studio, work shop venues.
