Geodesic dome "transmigration" method is based so specifically on dome design that only fixed numbers of people can take part in the process at each deliberation stage. Many geodesic domes are among the largest clear-span structures in the world. According to the Buckminster Fuller Institute in 2010, the world's 10 largest geodesic domes by diameter are: One other large dome in Venezuela was missed on the original Fuller Institute list, while two others built later are also now in the top 10. Currently, several geodesic domes are larger than 113 m in diameter. Geodesic dome A geodesic dome is a hemispherical thin-shell
Geodesic dome outside the circle of Fuller licensees had to go on." (page 57, 1976 edition). Other tables became available with publication of Lloyd Kahn's "Domebook 1" (1970) and "Domebook 2" (1971). Fuller hoped that the geodesic dome would help address the postwar housing crisis. This was consistent with his prior hopes for both versions of the Dymaxion House. Residential geodesic domes have been less successful than those used for working and/or entertainment, largely because of their complexity and consequent greater construction costs. Professional experienced dome contractors, while hard to find, do exist, and can eliminate much of the cost overruns associated
