Geodesic Dome T-shirt

A dome is a structural element of architecture that resembles the hollow upper half of a sphere. Dome structures made of various materials have a long architectural lineage extending into prehistory. A Dome resembles the hollow upper half of a sphere. They became popular in Western Europe during the Renaissance period.

A geodesic dome is based on a design of triangles laid beside each other usually in circles depending on the size you want. While a monolithic dome is a made of one piece over a form, usually made of concrete.

Domes are really strong and get stronger as it gets larger. They can withstand earthquakes, hurricanes and tornadoes but are hard to seal against leaks. Because of the many seams in the geodesic dome and the flexing it does as it warms from the sun, waterproofing becomes a challenge. The best method is to use shingles on the dome or to overlap the triangles to shed water.

Several Monolithic domes withstood hurricane Katrina in 2005 and wildfires in Oklahoma and Texas with the only a slight blackening of the exterior form insulation.

Dear Dome Fans,

I am writing to you in behalf of your Heavenly Father. He is seeking you like a lost sheep. You remember the Bible story? It is about a shepherd who has 100 sheep. But when he brings the sheep home one night, one is missing. He then leaves the 99 sheep and goes out into the wilderness until he finds that lost sheep.

In this parable the shepherd goes out to search for the one lost sheep-the very least that can be numbered. So if there had been but one lost soul, Christ would have died for that one. To read more click Lost Sheep
