I removed this text because of POV/self promotion. It's an interesting topic and I think a great article can be built around it -- I've only done the barest beginning. FreplySpang 00:04, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Concrete Domes have been studied for many years and with variations of this form of construction being used to build such early Concrete Domes as the Pantheon it has developed into a very effective means of construction long lasting durable structures that are resistant to natural disasters with many homes being built using Thin Shell Techniques more Concrete Domes are being put to the tests of durability and disaster resistance.

Thin Shell Domes have survived Earthquakes, Fires, Floods, Hurricanes, Tornados and many other forms of Natural Disasters and Extreme elements.

With the early pioners of the Thin Shell Concrete Dome this form of Building is quickly becoming a popular choice for New Home Construction and Disaster Area rebuilding and recovery.

Some noted Architects specilize in Thin Shell Concrete Dome design such as Jonathan Zimmerman and Fredrick Crandall presenting comfortable and desirable designs for all form of buildings used for offices, Commercial and Residential applications. Thin Shell Concrete Domes are by far the best available form of building as the are very easy to maintain and constructon costs are comparable to conventional forms of Home Construction that is available now.

With the next generation of Concrete Domes, Dome builders, such as Bryce Eckhaus of Thunder Ridge Industries, inc. are offering Dome Homes with new Home Technologies such as Smart Home Systems and Alternative Power Systems for Remote Housing needs. With the combination of multiple systems it is possible to live in remote locations that previously would be to difficult to achieve sustainability.
