More volume of space for surface area and materials used to enclose the space. More useable areas of the space that is enclosed High arches and large areas of open spaces in the dome interior Better circulation of air flow of heat in winter and cooling in summer Aerodynamic, excellent in coastal areas Less prone to damage by earthquakes than a conventionally built box house. A drawback of domes as shelters is that the exterior is practically all roof and it must be engineered to effectively seal off water to prevent leaks. Also large domes are subject to echoes. Because sound is amplified, sound deadening should be incorporated into the interior design.
Domes are aerodynamic and synergistic.
They can withstand hurricane and tornado force winds much better than conventional square structures, can be engineered to be fire resistant and as a synergistic unit are less subject to damage as a result of an earthquake. We hope you will make a Worldflower Garden Dome a part of your future building plans.
