This structure is considered one of the most efficient and comfortable for human living because it permits air and energy to circulate naturally, to flow without any obstructions.
Because of this, heating and cooling occur naturally and they have proven to be the most efficient energy-storing shelter in all climates and temperatures in the world.
In fact, architectural institutes have concluded that the dome saves as much as 30% more energy than the regular rectangle structure.
Furthermore, the dome's small building-surface makes it perfect for imaginative interior design. The space it provides allows you to play with furniture, light and decor as much as you wish.
The public is not readily aware of the existence or the dome benefits at the level that it should be.
It is rather sad to know that there are even architects that ask themselves "what is a geodesic dome?"
Without public awareness of this very useful structure, we will not be able to benefit from its advantages.
The dome first became known to the public in the 1950's, when it was presented at an exposition in Italy.
As one can notice in the country's architecture and style, it gained popularity with Italian craftsmen.
What would indeed be helpful is if it became popular among civil constructors in the western countries.
These countries are international leaders in civil constructions and if they would promote this type of dwelling more then people could benefit from the advantages.
Unfortunately, economical and strategic interests determine constructors to overlook the dome-structure and promote other types of dwellings that would bring them more profit over time.
