A Look Back At The Geodesic Dome

I remember when they came out, the Geodesic Dome was all the rage. Guess what? I never saw one up close. Did people in the Northland actually buy these? If you know where I can see one, let me know.

When it comes to practicality, geodesic domes are a contractor's worst nightmare. Where can you get windows that conform to hexagonal panels? Where should you install the pipes? Would a chimney look out of place? In spite of all these questions, we spent a good portion of the 1970s and '80s touting geodesic structures as the next big suburban fad.
