Maybe I'm hallucinating, but I can see three things come together
- Buckminster Fuller's Flys Eye Dome patent
- the Geoship ceramic dome initiative
- Artificial Intelligence's penchant for circular windows and compound curved interior walls.
Now, Geoship's current design has three layers, an inner shell, trussed struts, and an outer shell. Fuller's Fly Eye uses compound curve panels. Combine the two and you have two layers, the Fly Eye interior, [an insulative cavity] and flat/curved outer panels.

Before his death in 1983, he hand-built three prototypes of the design:
A 3.8-meter prototype is currently owned by Norman Foster.…
