A question about the hoop forces - You mentioned that the bottom experience tension forces instead of compression ones. But I wonder isn't that because we're used to imagine and build domes as hemi-spheres, which do not follow the catenary curve most optimal for arches? Even if it's a concrete or stone dome (that hold very well to compression forces, but poorly to tension) the bottom of the dome wouldn't be stable, unless its walls are thick enough to ensure the catenary curve is within the walls.
@PaulKassabian

Thanks for your note. The hoop force is providing restraint, especially at the base, in lieu of any external horizontal support...essentially providing an internal "tieing" of the dome. So, to your note, if domes were more based on catenary geometry that would significantly reduce the hoop forces in the main dome but you would still have hoop forces at the base to provide overall equilibrium.

Great video! Could you elaborate on geodesic domes specifically? And particularly to the effects of rearranging the struts in different angles (while preserving the strong triangles structure). I'm considering building a geodesic dome for a home, and I wonder (in principle - of course I'll hire an architect for precise plans) if it's possible and how to push some struts around to open a bit wider space that can accommodate better rectangular doors and windows.

since geodesic domes come out of synergetics, the experiential science of the spherical, omnitriangulated structures of spacetime, i would suggest not breaking the pattern integrity with rectangular doors and windows, but rather go along with the omnitriangulation. it will be well worth it, not just structurally but even aesthetically.

@Paul Kassabian and how they can build them? It works as an arch, row by row until all four side connects, and after that as they build row by row at all side, when they finish a row it holds itself in position? Like the ring in the dome? This is how holow piramyd works also? And how bruneleschi dome was built in firenze? How he could make the structure self suporting with the L shaped brick? You agree the best option to cover that was a dome? And what stop this extremely heavy structure at the base to push the wals outward?
