ABSTRACT:
A structure of generally dome shape including a supporting framework formed of circumferentially spaced vertical members and laterally extending members on each side thereof and means for clamping said laterally extending members to a vertical member. The laterally extending members being spaced apart substantially the same distance as the diameter of the vertical member to which they are clamped. An inside shell formed in any suitable manner of concrete, mesh and reinforcing members and an outside shell spaced from said inside shell and formed generally similarly to the inside shell, the inside and outside shells being connected to and supported by the spaced laterally extending members and fixed thereto providing an airspace between the inside and outside shells. A modification of the structure provides a solar heating arrangement on a part of the dome shaped structure which has a generally southern exposure.
