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
ASM Headquarters and Geodesic Dome the most important advances on the future would be invisible." In his essay, Theobald compares Fuller's vision from 1958 to reality in 2010, an era of the Internet, DNA, genome mapping, and nano technology. The geodesic dome is actually a triacon truss rising to a height of 103 feet and is 274 feet in diameter. The dome is built using approximately 65,000 parts, including 13 miles of extruded aluminum tubing and tension rods bolted into hexagons. There are no internal supports and the entire 80-ton weight rests on five concrete-filled pylons driven up to 77 feet into the earth. The
