A guy who runs a coffee shop there, an oldtimer, has lived there at least 20 - 25 years, told me that the plans came from some new graduate and he reckons the fellow never thought anyone would actually build it.
As I look it over in my memory, the scale was more like a volleyball balanced on a 3 or 4 inch diameter cup. I mean it's bad enough to have the downside of round walls and ceilings, but to have limited floor space as well, what's up with that?
I'm thinking the only way domes would work would be to have a series of connected ones, bedrooms would be a separate dome, etc. and that would not likely be too energy efficient.
