Geodesic domes are the ultimate engineer's house.
They withstand lateral loading much better than any other structure, because the stress is distributed radially. Their aerodynamic shape helps divert wind force. They are highly energy efficient. They enclose a large volume per unit of material. And they are easy to build, due to their regular lattice structure.
