Richard. Buckminster. Fuller was the person who invented. HE was in his science lab when he suddenly thought of the idea of the geodesic dome so he gathered the materials and start doing it. After several years, he finally finished the final project. So.. technically.. it was invented in his science lab.

What is the shape of pure carbon fullerenes?
hollow ball with a pattern like a geodesic dome
What are some short disadvantages and advantages of geodesic domes?
AdvantagesIt is an enclose space free of structural supports.The structure can be quickly constructed, and by a small crew.Domes as tall as 50 meters are constructed in the wilderness from rough materials without a crane.It can withstand hurricane-strong winds.Solar Heating is possible.Companies sell dome instructions easy enough for a regular home owner to build themselves.Construction has improved over the years.The newer domes can actually resolve most of the disadvantages below, now-a-days.DisadvantagesThe dome's shape can create problems in placing sewer vents and chimneys.Fire escapes are expensive and a must for large buildings like this.Moisture in the dome are usually not heard of and therefore if any enters, the dome quickly dissolves (figuratively).Sounds, smells, and lights can be seen throughout the entire structure due to lack of privacy.Wall areas are difficult to use due to the shape.It is hard to seal the domes against rain.I hope this helped you.
What are facts about a dome mountain?
it is a type of a mountain called a dome mountain or an upwarped mountain XD
Are dome and upwarped mountains the same thing?
Yes (It's more formally known as a dome mountain)
How are dome mountains different from volcanic mountains?
1 difference is that the dome mt. sleeps and the volcanic doesn't
When was the geodesic dome invented?
The geodesic dome was invented in the late 1940's
Who uses geodesic domes?
A geodesic dome is a spherical shape generally created using small triangles strategically places to make a round shape. One example of a geodesic dome is the Epcot Center in Disney World. They also have play grounds for children that are half spheres made from the triangles mentioned above that would technically qualify as a geodesic dome.
What is a real world example of a Geodesic dome?
The 'big ball' at Epcot in Orlando Florida, is a Geodesic sphere. The old dome-like playground equipment is based on the same structure as a geodesic dome. I've posted a couple of links about geodesic domes with some pictures.
What is a geodesic dome build?
a dome that is built out from straight parts
What can a geodesic dome be used for?
nothing
How can you make a super dome with paper?
Answer:You can make a geodesic dome.
Why does a geodesic dome stay up?
The basic concept of a geodesic dome is very simple. It is composed of a series of triangles, and the triangle is a rigid shape. That's why the dome stays up.
Which city is geodesic dome?
a2p krew.
Who desinged the geodesic dome?
Buckminster Fuller
Where is the largest geodesic dome located?
The largest geodesic dome is the Fantasy Entertainment Complex and is located in Kyosho Isle, Japan. It stands at 710 feet.
Which is better - a monolithic or a geodesic dome home?
A monolithic is better than a geodesic dome home. A monolithic dome home is more cost effective and energy efficient. It can also withstand disasters better.
What is the actual geometric figure for Epcot?
geodesic dome
