Why domes and vaults? [text removed for bandwidth only]...

Having looked at a variety of traditional forms, and tested some, I
conclude that a hoop house or vault is the right form for my needs.

 

 

Papercrete is an excellent - and plastic - material, which makes it a real contender for irregular or curved forms. A dome is only theoretically more efficient with respect to material use if you ignore the WASTE of yard after yard of plywood/plastic/mdf sheet material which has to be cut for many hours to sheath all that BuckyDome kewlness to protect it from rain, snow and birds.
