Buckminster Fuller came up with a fantastic design and patent, when he built his geodesic dome.

So, what could possibly make it better?

Go one step further with the design idea and give it a new name to express its added benefits and affordability: Terrific T-Dome Homes.  Why T-Domes?

I scoured the web, well the first five or so pages anyway, trying to find the triangular shape that we had come up with, I never did find one. I found some that came close, but they weren't it. Everyone that we have shown it to, says " its not a triangle, but it is triangular". So, we just call it T (triangular shape) Dome.  Maybe some math student somewhere has named it, but until we find out, we will call ours T-Dome and probably even after we find out. Since, we invented the shape ourselves, the principle and the formula, we have the right to name it, ITS a T-DOME.

How does the T-Dome go one step further? By:

1. Removing the FLAT spots, making it round, to give it even more resistance to wind, rain and storm damage.  No flat spots for rain and snow to puddle up on and leak.   No flat spots for the wind to hammer and loosen.

2. Make it affordable for EVERYONE, not just those that have a couple of hundred thousand dollars, to have it built..  Make it so that a man and his buddy can build it. Make it so that the framework and shell can be built for under $5,000.00, for a 30' diameter. Make it a Do-it-Yourself project, that is within the means of any family that needs safe, secure, weather proof housing and is willing to do the work.

3. Make it fast, simple and cheap to build without compromising the strength of the dome structure.  Use techniques, tools and math formulas that anyone can utilize.  NO rocket scientists, structural engineers, building contractors or other high priced experts needed.

4. Make it so that the person that builds it decides how big, what will be where and when.  Make it so that the same exact formula and principles can be used to build a small doghouse, a child's playhouse, a tool shed, a garage, a greenhouse, a vacation getaway, a storm shelter, a workshop or a large custom home.  ALL from the same easy to understand principle and formula. Make one simple triangular shape following this formula and principle and repeat it until your dome is done!  If a person can make one, they can make them all.

5. Take Buckminster Fullers design one step further, into practical economical access to everyone, with an added twist NO Flat spots.

6. Add features that make it even more efficient and don't cost an arm and leg to add. That save on water, sewage, fuel, electricity and even help feed the owners!

7. Put it into an illustrated, easy to understand and follow manual, that anyone that can read a tape measure and draw a circle on the ground can understand and do.

Take the next step now, be safe, secure and comfortable the next time a severe storm roars outside.  You can build this entire shell, for what just one conventional roof replacement costs.  Finish the inside as and when you can.
