A techno-economic evaluation of the geodesic dome as a possible form of low-income house in Southern Africa
… in a successful marriage, brings the geodesic dome to light. The conclusion reached is that in economic, technical and cultural terms, the dome compares favourably with conventional low-income housing. The social acceptance of the structure is a topic of research beyond the scope of …

Design and an automated parametric study of geodesic domes
An automated parametric investigation of geodesic domes is conducted in this study. A brief description of the stiffness method of matrix structural analysis is included in addition to a discussion of the fully-stressed design procedure via the stress-ratio method. Automated solution algorithms …

Yesterday's City of Tomorrow: The Minnesota Experimental City and Green Urbanism
… and enclosure of all or part of the city under a geodesic dome. Like many other thought leaders of the era, Athelstan Spilhaus believed that America needed to face two growing crises: the steady depopulation of traditional city centers and the exponential growth of waste and pollution. He proposed …
