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 dome geometry, he was divested of all interest in Synergetics, Inc. before this dome was conceived. The geodesic dome was designed by Thomas C. Howard of Synergetics, Inc. in Raleigh, North Carolina, the owner of Synergetics, Inc. and designer of many geodesic domes such as Climatron Conservatory at Missouri Botanical Gardens, the Union Tank Car Company dome (now demolished) in Baton Rouge, LA, and Poliedro de Caracas in Venezuela. Fuller's role was limited to licensing the use of his patent. In a 2010 essay, Stan Theobald, retired ASM managing director (2002-2012), recalls that the dome engineers were from the College
