Bioceramic Domes

Overview

Bioceramic Domes is a fundamental component of regenerative village development. This guide synthesizes knowledge from re:build gatherings to provide practical insights for implementing bioceramic domes in community projects.

Key Principles

First-principles approach: Ceramic geodesic domes are effective because they optimize three core factors: material science (what materials are used), geometry (the structural form), and manufacturing method (how materials are processed and assembled). This first-principles approach reveals why certain building systems outperform others.

Methods and Approaches

This is a, you know, full structure building technology, you're not actually, youic domes that are molded, precast, in factories, highly automated kind of injection molding processes can just be the most affordable and sustainable homes on earth

Key Insights

Integrated structure: One key difference between ceramic domes and conventional wood box houses is that with ceramic domes, everything is integrated—structure, insulation, and finish are all one system.

Economic engine: Ceramic geodesic domes can serve as an incredible economic engine to unlock regenerative village futures in many ways.

First-principles optimization: Ceramic geodesic domes are effective because they optimize material science, geometry, and manufacturing methods together—a first-principles approach to building.

Manufacturing efficiency: This is a full-structure building technology. Domes that are molded and precast in factories using highly automated injection molding processes can be the most affordable and sustainable homes on earth.

Carbon reduction: Third-party carbon analysis shows that ceramic domes have dramatically lower embodied energy. For the same amount of floor space as conventional box houses, ceramic domes achieve 85-95% reduced embodied CO2.

Maintenance advantage: Ceramic has heat-reflective properties, and unlike roofs that need replacement, you can resurface the dome with the same material it's made from.

Cottage industry potential: A cottage industry and sacred economics can be built around ceramic domes, creating local economic opportunities.

Examples and Case Studies

Some particular locations, for instance, that I think that the dome shape, especially is relevant for the first question

Best Practices

• And scale manufacturing to 1 million ceramic domes per year by 2037
• Some particular locations, for instance, that I think that the dome shape, especially is relevant for the first question
• And that's, I think, one of the services that we will be able to support communities with as they form a dowel online, and then be able to just have a configurator essentially where they can configure a dome and then configure a village and then so they have a clear vision that they can use to bring other people on board and fun things and whatnot
• And one other question, you have a picture of a larger dome
