What is so special about geodesic domes? - 2 views

  Domes are aerodynamic structures, so they can withstand earthquakes and hurricanes without a problem (there is even a study about it)! The distribution of weight across the dome is the most efficient you can think of. Stress is equally distributed along the entire structure! He named this design as geodesic dome because great circles are known as geodesic domes. Eventually, Fuller developed his design by using hexagons and pentagons instead of circles, to benefit from the strength and ease of use that a triangular shape brings.
