I Chose the Geodesic Dome. I learned that The term is Latin for "earth dividing" The shortest distance between any two points on a sphere. The idea of combining triangles with an arch was pioneered by German Dr. Walter Baversfeild in 1922. However Buckminster Fuller .was the man who convinced the geodesic homes in 1954. These homes where efficient, inexpensive, and durable for 350 dollars. You could build these for an African Family made of a conjured metal dome. These are also used as weather stations. Plastic and fiberglass domes used for sensitive equipment in the arctic region. These are also used for emergency shelters and mobile military housing. Yes, I would live in one of these houses.They are durable and inexpensive. I could build a house like this starting out on my own and be able to afford it, plus I think the Domes look is really cool.

You give some interesting background information. They are increasingly popular as single family homes in this country, too! Would you like living in one?
ReplyDeleteAustin, thanks for adding to your entry. This is a bit more like what I'd really like to see, an answer to all parts of the question or prompt but also some personal experiences, reflection, or opinion. I think the domes look cool, too.
