History of the Dome

Throughout history, the dome has been the architectural form of choice wherever efficiency and strength are required of a structure. From the simple igloo that shelters the Arctic hunter through the ravages of a blinding storm, to the awe-inspiring magnificence of the Sistine Chapel, the dome has been used in every culture, on every continent, as one of man's most versatile constructions.

Today, modern construction techniques and materials reinforce the dome's position as the most classically versatile of all structures. The insulated concrete dome is the ideal solution wherever strength combined with low construction costs are called for. Compared to other types of structures, the domes encloses more volume with the greatest floor area, and the least amount of surface area and perimeter. Superbly energy-efficient, fire-safe, and with an inherent strength that enables it to withstand whatever nature throws at it, hurricanes, earthquakes, even tornadoes. It's no wonder that the modern concrete dome is experiencing a surge of popularity throughout the world.
