The 500-year-lifespan geodesic dome home is now real, actual, built

We desperately need more housing that is affordable, sustainable, and mass producible. Geoship thinks they've created exactly that, and have now actually built a full-scale prototype using their advanced materials science and construction methodology.

In this TechFirst, we chat with CEO and cofounder Morgan Bierschenk.

Way too many can’t afford homes right now, especially young people, and the homes we do build are generally horrible for the environment. Plus, the isolated wood boxes we build for people don’t tend to bring us closer together.

Geoship is building sustainable bioceramic domes. They're non-toxic, have a near-zero carbon footprint, are and designed to last 500 years. They’re also intended to be affordable, mass producible, and maybe even to be deployed in communities where people can live together, not apart.

Sounds idealistic? Maybe.

But the company has completed its first full-size prototype, has 500 orders, and is looking to enter full-scale production.
