from Tom:
Of course the geodesic dome isn't used much for housing. What do you do with those corners at the bottom and that small space at the top?Yeah. They had some strange floor plans and stuff. In one design, the floor of the dome itself is just dirt - perhaps with plants and stuff growing in it - it could be landscaped or whatever. Then for the living area, you got these modular, triangular floor panels that can be connected together in just about any shape you want - they are pre-formed fiberglass/styrofoam or some junk and they have electrical connections built in so that when you connect them, they form a continuous electrical circuit with outlets built in to each. You'd have a lot of basically unused space around the circumference of the dome and the top of the dome.
