The Trip for Life: The Monolithic Dome Institute Part 1

- I travel to a small town in Texas, with a big vision for the future. In Italy, is a place called the Monolithic Dome Institute, where over the past few decades an awesome new form of construction has been developed. Monolithic domes are efficient, durable, and very resistant to disaster. I sit down with the founder and CEO of the institute, David South, to talk about his technology and how he is working to build a better future, one dome at a time.
Wow! Love this. Here in California, as in Texas, anything to keep out the heat is a step forward, especially if it means not running the AC all day. I love the biomorphic feel of these domes. Plus, again a concern in the US West, the forest fire resistance would be great in any non-coastal part of the state.
The world is in such a need of people like David South. God Bless.
Only drawback is lack of sunlight.
Very sweet technology! I will definitely be looking deeper into this. This ties right in with my favorite building concepts... thermal mass and in-ground buildings among others.
Monolithic Dome, could you make a video on just how fire resistant you can build a dome. With all those homes burnt down in Colorado. It could be a game changer for you.
You can take a flamethrower to them and they won't burn.
I will get one of these. It is just too practical to pass up. It will be my retirement home.
Terrific video! I've driven by your place a thousand times and never knew what it was! I'll be sure and visit your website! Thanks, and I stopped in Italy to photograph the city sign and city hall (I'm Italian!) lol ! Thank you for being "STUCK" trying to make the world better for us all!
Very informative. This must surely be the way forward - its fascinating.
Thanks.
i used to pass this place every day on my way to work. Amen.
I've seen several projects that are underground. The building design is well suited for subterranean uses.
I honor what you are trying to get off the ground here sir, as far as helping people in other countries get homes or more permanent homes in disaster areas. I eager to learn more.
Go to www.dftw.org/
I would to learn how to build that

I would like to see a video on how the foam stands up to a fire! Does it melt? What happens as heat is applied, Is there more than one type of foam? I want to buil one in a forest environment, major concern fires!
When a dome is finished there is concrete over the foam.
troy brownrigg Put concrete on the inside and on the outside. It won’t burn.
What does he mean by super insulated?
