The history of the first domes as habitable structures traces back to ancient civilizations, where early architects and engineers experimented with innovative construction techniques. However, it was the visionary architect and engineer, R. Buckminster Fuller, who revolutionized dome design and popularized its use as a place to live.
Fuller’s fascination with geometric principles and efficiency led him to develop the concept of geodesic domes in the mid-20th century. These structures, composed of interconnected triangular panels, offered exceptional strength and stability and could span large interior spaces without the need for internal support columns.
