Dome, Energy Efficient Homes, Dome Homes, Geodesic Dome A.I.'s geodesic domes result in energy efficient homes that are concrete homes
The dome home utilizes sandwich panels that consist of steel reinforced concrete, seven inch thick expanded bead polystyrene insulation (E.P.S.) and interior wall board
Besides manufacturing the geodesic dome home building kit, American Ingenuity offers stock dome house plans
If you do not find a stock geodesic dome plan to fit your needs we can modify the plan or produce custom building plans from your sketches
Is your concrete dome home cheaper to build than a stick built house or wood dome? Yes
First of all you save money by buying the American Ingenuity dome shell kit versus buying and installing the materials for a regular stick built house shell (concrete block walls, roof trusses, plywood, tarpaper, shingles, insulation, wall board, soffits, gutters, etc.)
A.I.'s building kit is typically one third to one half less in cost than what the materials cost for a conventionally built stick house or wood dome or monolithic dome

Geodesic Domes Geodesic Domes geodesic domes A Geodesic Dome is a type of structure shaped like a piece of a sphere or a ball
The more complex the network of triangles, the more closely the dome approximates the shape of a true sphere
[From Mitch Amiano] The dome is a structure with the highest ratio of enclosed area to external surface area, and in which all structural members are equal contributors to the whole
(from the FAQ) (This GEODOME is a ray traced image with POV-Ray created by
Geodesic dome out of black metal pipes and joints and a blue metallic sphere with some lighting arcing around
) invented the Geodesic Dome in the late 1940s to demonstrate some ideas about housing and ``energetic-synergetic geometry'' which he had developed during WWII

Features modified design from a 1973 edition of Popular Mechanics. Includes materials,
assembly instructions, photos and contact information.
How to Build a Geodesic Dome out of Cardboard This site was designed in response to people asking us how we made our domes and who were interested in making their own
These domes have served as an effective shelter against wind, extreme heat and, once painted, rainfall
The largest of the three domes in the picture opposite measures approximately 12' 7" in diameter and is about 6' 3" high at its center
The domes are strong enough to attach decorative pieces and lighting components to the inside
Assembly time, on site, is 3 to 4 hours for 3 people constructing one dome with the appropriate tools
Feel free to contact us with any questions or comments about dome construction or the outline of this web site
If you do end up building one or more of these domes for the Playa, please let us know where we can find you

Building a geodesic dome has never been easier
Whether you're a professional home builder, a do-it-yourself type or you already own a dome home but would like a matching outbuilding or shop, Professional Dome Plans gives you the tools you'll need to successfully build a geodesic dome
Reviews "Professional Dome Plans is a book for builders not dreamers
If you're planning to construct your own dome, the detailed shop drawings and terse suggestions will be well worth the asking price." * "Mother Earth News" January, 1990 * The comment that it's 'well worth the asking price' reflects the original 1990 price of $34.95
"Anyone who has ever been intimidated by the desire to build a geodesic dome will be relieved to know that the cavalry has arrived..
Professional Dome Plans, has brought the other-worldly science of building geodesic domes down to earth where it belongs — firmly within the abilities of the do-it-yourselfer..
What it all adds up to in the end is a book that cuts through the complex geodesic math, reducing it to the unimportant obstacle that it is, clearing the way for the important task of building a dome." "Canadian Workshop" March, 1989 * "Canadian Workshop" changed its name to "Canadian Home Workshop" in May of 1998

Geodesic Domes and Charts of the Heavens
A brief history of the world's first lightweight steel structural framework built
on the roof of the Carl Zeiss optical works in Jena, Germany in 1922.
Geodesic Domes and Charts of the Heavens T he world's first lightweight steel structural framework was built on the roof of the Carl Zeiss optical works in Jena, Germany in 1922
What is even more remarkable about the dome is that it was almost incidental to a spectacular scientific and technical accomplishment: invention of the planetarium projector
The inventor of the projector and the dome was Dr
Walter Bauersfeld of Zeiss: ...caught an entirely different idea: reversing the plan of a mechanically rotatable hollow sphere with illuminated images of the stars, he transferred the entire mechanism for the movements to a collection of projectors which would project luminous images of the stars on to a stationary white hemispherical dome of much larger dimensions than those originally conceived
Within the dome, the centre of which would be occupied by the projectors, all would be in darkness
By means of suitable mechanisms the projectors would be moved and guided so that their illuminated images of the heavenly bodies would conform on the dome to the motions which actually occur in nature...1 For five years a large staff of scientists, engineers and mechanics worked with Bauersfeld at the huge Zeiss plant in Jena, Germany to design the projector and the projection dome

Geodesic domes have been around for almost fifty years now and are being built all over the world
Why? Simply stated, domes are: 1
ENERGY EFFICIENT A dome requires less energy to heat and cool and lend themselves to different types of solar panels, earth tubes, and other types of alternative energy sources
Of course, domes can save up to fifty percent when on standard (on the grid) electrical and gas hookups, too
This saves you lots of money for years to come! All our domes, over twenty-four feet, are 2x6 construction for the shell, so you have better insulation for even more savings on heating and cooling, in all types of climates
SUPERIOR IN STRENGTH Geodesic domes have been proven to withstand bad weather the world over better than the standard box type construction, including snow loads, tornadoes and hurricanes, making them a safe and secure place to live
EASY TO ASSEMBLE The Albata Geodesic dome is ideal for the experienced 'do-it-yourselfer'

Buckminster Fuller, who, for the better part of the 20th century, went where no man had gone before as the maverick captain of the planet he called "Spaceship Earth." An architect, designer, engineer, poet, philosopher, author and global iconoclast, Fuller was a true visionary, a Renaissance man best remembered as creator of the geodesic dome
The geodesic dome was the invention that brought the spotlight to his oeuvre, and in fact it was chosen as the design for the United States Pavilion at Expo '67 in Montreal, where the 200-foot-high version still stands

It is not best to choose a dome size or plan, then look for land
We do a better job of designing the dome (no charge sketch) with rooms you want, oriented to view, sun and access to the road
Also, land is usually a significant bite out of the budget so knowing the cost also assists us with deciding how much of the dome to finish now, for example
The best value is using a lower level yes or no, for garage, yes or no then chose the dome diameter
