The Versatility of Domes, Part 5

Should Builders Rebuild Traditionally or Rebuild to Prevent Future Destruction?

Although domes constitute a mere percentage of buildings, domes are beautiful and versatile. Dome interiors are spacious. With a dome home, residents can easily have vaulted ceilings and unobstructed large spaces without having load-bearing walls and pillars. Such amenities in standard structures are very expensive. Due to their modular nature, domes can be easily be enlarged with additions. A collection of several domes can be connected with enclosed walkways, to make a housing complex.

Dome houses, churches and warehouses are used in various geographical areas of the world. Dome houses are built in the tropics, in mountain areas such as in the Rockies or in cold climates such as in Alaska. Dome houses exist in Florida, Colorado, Oregon, Washington, Northeast United States and on other continents. Domes are sold from the United States, Canada, Britain and Australia.
