In the March 1, 1943 issue of Life Magazine Buckmister Fuller introduced the world to his Dymaxion Map. The Dymaxion Map is the least distorted global map and has the added bonus that it can be transformed easily from a 2D to a 3D map. Check out the original article here.
In celebration of this 70 year anniversary the Buckminster Fuller Institutes is having a contest for new interpretations of the Dymaxion Map. The contest opened April 22nd and submission deadline is June 14th. So if you are inspired by Buckmister Fuller, domes, or the dymaxion map you have just under a month to get a submission in. Click here for the official contest page.
We can’t wait to see the designs that people come up with.
And as always if you are ready to make your own world just a little more geodesic contact us and we will help you get a dome of your own.

Here at DomeGuys International nothing makes us happier than knowing that we have made our customer happy. And what better way is there to know a customer is happy with the product then when they come back to buy from you again.
Last year Quebec based event company Chapiteaux purchased a stunning 44’ dome from us to use as an event rental. (You can see photos of the dome in action in this post.)
This dome has been such a wild success for them that they came back and ordered another dome. We are very excited to be sending them another dome this month and look forward to more great event photos.
Check out some of our other past event domes and get inspired for your next event.

What does geodesic mean?
Give up?
Geodesic refers to the shortest possible line between two points on a sphere or other curved surface. It comes from a Latin root that means, “earth dividing”.

DomeGuys International recently constructed an Eco Living dome in Williams, OR for a private client. DGI worked with the client over the course of the year, designing the customizations for the geodesic dome, advising on the foundation platform, and managing in-house financing.
With a three-person crew (and a little help from Petunia LaRue), the geodesic dome went up quickly despite the chilly February day. When the winter weather did set-in, the DGI crew finished erecting the frame and packed up, returning the next day to put the cover on in dryer, less-muddy conditions.
This dome is nestled in the forest of the Siskiyou mountain range. In an effort to take full advantage of the natural surroundings, DGI helped the client design a custom bay window on one full side of the dome cover made from clear vinyl. Additionally, the dome is outfitted with a complete window band running the circumference of the dome.
We were happy to work with the client on payment plans through our in-house financing, allowing him to pay down the cost of his dome over a period of time with a series of payments. DGI was happy to make his dome-dream come true, and provide him with his off-the-grid home.
If you would like more information on how we can make your dome-dream come true, contact us. And give us a call about our in-house financing options!
