    Cams (ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF GEODESIC STRUCTURES)

    Geodesic dome structures have several advantages: they are stable even in severe weather due to their balanced weight distribution; use less material while providing more interior space; maintain even temperatures with efficient air circulation. However, they also have disadvantages: financing and rescaling can be challenging; interior space is difficult to partition; custom doors and windows must be made; geodesic expertise is required; and planning permissions may be problematic due to code requirements.

    ADVANTAGES AND

    DISADVANTAGES
    OF GEODESIC
    STRUCTURES
    ADVANTAGES:
    - Geodesic Domes have a high stability and easy
    construction which is sturdy, they are ideal for almost
    any type of spaces.
    - Have an aerodynamic shape, which protects them
    against strong wind or storms.
    - During severe weather and natural disasters, the
    balanced distribution of weight throughout the structure
    make it stable.
    - Can be enormous in size with less surface area, that
    means less materials are used and more space is
    available inside the building.
    - Has less surface per unit of internal volume, conductive
    to even temperatures and more efficient air circulation.
    - Very quick and easy to assemble, making them less
    labor intensive.
    - Sustainable and extremely energy efficient.
    DISADVANTAGE:
    - The financing and rescale
    - The unstable space inside
    - Fitting doors and windows into a dome structure is much more of a challenge.
    You have to custom make all doors and windows needed.
    - Expansion and portioning is difficult. It needs proficient or expert labors.
    - Geodesic knowledge is greatly needed for such building.
    - Planning permission can also be a problem as drainage and fire escapes can
    be an issue and they need to meet code requirements.
