Geodesic domes aren’t all that they’re cracked up to be. Some of the early avid proponents turned against the idea after long-term experience with them.

I was once crazy about the idea - until I met someone who actually lived in one over years. They leak, and aren’t nearly as energy efficient as ‘they’ say.

I still think it’s a good idea, but needs a lot of work.

I love the idea of things like this, and love looking at them as well as all the ‘tiny houses’; but couldn’t live in one. My life is too big ;-)

I lived in a geodesic while in college in Carbondale Il, when Bucky Fuller taught there, even took one of his classes. Domes do leak and furniture is not practical.
