Geodesic domes, unlike domes made up of three-dimensional lattices, can suffer global buckling without any of the compressed bars that form it having suffered local buckling.[1] This implies that a calculation as a conventional linear structure, and subsequent verification of local buckling, may not be appropriate in many cases and for large spans a non-linear calculation is required to determine their critical loads and ensure that elastic instability phenomena do not occur.

Geodesic domes are closely related to sacred geometry, as they are based on one of the Platonic solids (the icosahedron), in their constitution there are pentagons (associated with the pentacle) and hexagons (associated with the Star of David, union between heaven and earth), the sphere confined in the geodesic dome represents the womb, the womb, a concept similar to that seen in tipi, ruca (dwelling). Mapuche), yurt and other archaic constructions.

Currently, geodesic domes are considered to be the ideal structures for Lunar and Martian installations. Geodesic domes are incredibly efficient, at least when it comes to the amount of internal space you get relative to the cost of the materials. From an engineering standpoint, geodesic domes are too complex to be popular on Earth, but in space, where every pound of their payload must be accounted for, their engineering complexity is a small price to pay for their incredibly efficient footprints.[2][3][4]​.

In the last decade, geodesic domes have become popular structures in the events sector, facilitating immersive audiovisual events or fulldome thanks to the spherical shape of the structure and in the tourism sector, also called Glamping, thanks to the low cost and open space that these structures provide as a housing solution.

At the beginning of 2018, the Intel company created the largest 360° movie set in the world, Intel Studios, a 10,000-square-foot (929m2) geodesic dome in Los Angeles, turning this studio into the world's largest immersive media center with 96 high-resolution 5K cameras that capture the action inside the geodesic dome in two dimensions while algorithms convert those billions of pixels into a virtual 3D environment. 360 degrees.[5]​.

In recent months, largely due to the social change caused by the COVID19 pandemic that is changing work habits and marking a return of citizens to rural areas, rural accommodation is becoming fashionable, either as permanent accommodation or as a form of rural tourism business (glamping), based on geodesic domes with wooden structures and with different exterior covers, such as PVC covers, wooden covers and covered with a final layer of projected cork.

This type of geodesic domes with wooden structures allow the addition of different layers of thermal insulation that are not possible in domes with metal structures, making these types of structures ideal elements for rural accommodation capable of withstanding inclement weather.

Also during the pandemic, geodesic domes are gaining some popularity, in this case small-sized domes, metal structures and transparent covers in almost all countries, becoming essential elements that allow hospitality establishments to reopen by having divided spaces, installed outdoors or terraces and that allow social distancing and whose occupancy is small groups of people.[6]​.
