I live abroad and recently have acquired 25 acres of land. I'm exceptionally interested in alternative building materials. Primarily because the only thing they used to build here is cinder blocks (or rather they're poor third world stand in).
I have to deal with typhoon winds twice a year and earthquakes. I have been exploring dome construction. I was very interested in monolithic domes. However the cost of acquiring skilled people to actually help do a build is limited.
I was just surveying the land, and remember geodesic domes. I am almost completely sold on using them as a greenhouse for my seedlings.
But that got me thinking about building a geodesic dome home. In steel frame construction. As I can have the pieces milled for very fair rate here.
Wondering if any of you have experience with this or general feedback.
Almost everything is censored. I'm just going to take 12 mg to see what happens. I've been sicker than a dog for 10 days and considering some sensitive stuff I'm to nervous to get added as a positive case.
