Would be good for burying it in the ground with a concrete tunnel leading to the door for a doomsday getaway in Wyoming or something. Stock it full of food, water, fuel, guns



Earthships, baw. That's the prepper building of choice unless you're wealthy enough to buy an old nuke silo or just built an underground bunker in the Rockies.

This is a take on an old concept, the geodesic dome, first proposed by Buckminster Fuller.

THE PUBLIC'S FIRST VIEW OF THE GEODESIC DOMES

R. Buckminster Fuller's first world wide acceptance by the architectural community occurred with the 1954 Triennale where his cardboard dome was displayed for the first time. The Milan Triennale was established to stage international exhibitions aimed to present the most innovative accomplishments in the fields of design, crafts, architecture and city planning.




The practical application generally involved plywood triangles that were then shingled, back in the day when shingles were cheaply priced relative to what they are now. Several were built around Lafayette back in the 70s.
