What Is a Geodesic Dome Home And How You Can Build One?

Looking to build your own eco-homes? Check out this comprehensive guide on Geodesic Dome Homes.

Geodesic dome homes are essentially buildings shaped like round balls made up of flat surfaces. The term "geodesic" refers to the shortest distance between two points, while "polyhedron" means a 3D shape with flat faces.

These dome homes gained attention thanks to Buckminster Fuller, a champion of their benefits during the post-World War II housing crisis. While they didn't become mainstream, they still captivate builders and homeowners today, offering a unique blend of sustainability and creativity in housing design.
