A spherical or hemispherical structure popularized by Buckminster Fuller in the early twentieth century. Geodesic domes are polyhedrons – three-dimensional solids that are made up of many flat faces. The thin-shell structure is formed by a lattice of triangles (usually) which are more rigid than typical rectangles. The shelters used less building materials than conventional structures and allowed air, light, and heatto circulate freely. (Lubell, 2018)
