Dome homes featured in Popular Science

Monolithic Dome homes were featured in a recent issue of Popular Science magazine.

Powerful weather and how to mitigate its effects is the main topic in the July/August issue of the magazine. A Monolithic Dome home is featured as one way to protect against extreme weather.

The feature is full page length plus a graphic showing the layers of a Monolithic Dome home. The introduction says:

In regions that regularly face gale-force winds, priorities like making a house fire- or snow-proof take a backseat to the more-important goal of ensuring the building won’t go flying off its foundations during the next big storm. Some architects have gotten creative with this aim, turning to an eye-catching, super-sturdy design: a simple dome.

Our very own Gary Clark and David B. South were contributors to this article.
