A Frameless Geodesic Dome (2013)
This is cool to play with and all, but what rubs me the wrong way about posts like this is the delusional 'look I made something that is applicable as anything but a novelty! I'm solving major societal problems here!'. This thing doesn't have windows, it requires replacing panels on the outer shell every few years, you can't build up not even 1 level and has virtually no sound insulation so horrible in term of land use, doesn't have walls solid enough to put plumbing in let alone fix anything else to, doesn't meet any building regulation in terms of safety - not even if you take regulations from 30 years ago, ...<p>I understand the draw and see the romanticism of living like a hermit in a forest; really I do. But for some reason people delude themselves into thinking that this can scale. When you're saying 'I love nature so much, I'm going to go live right in the middle of it!', it's like saying 'I love my horse so much, I'm going to eat it tonight'. Which is fine - I eat horse meat. But don't claim you're 'loving' it in the same way normal people use the word 'love'.
