Monolithic domes: Living in the danger zone: Dante Amato at TEDxMission The City2.0

The chords of 'dome physics' and 'bio-mimicry' resonate well with Dante and it may be that these approaches are both illustrative of the 'simple but not too simple'. Dante's participation with the Dragon Speed Design Group 'think tank' is a work in progress having evolved over the last dozen years commencing with Mark and Valerie Sigler's 'Dome of a Home' post Hurricane Ivan trauma. Dante and Mark have been collaborating friends since 1965 and with the addition of Robert Bissett and Marc Sigler, both active participants in the development of the Dome of a Home prototype with Architect Jonathan Zimmerman (deceased), are actively engaged in the effort to evolve air-form and factory produced 'dome' technology for integration into the panoply of global environmental solutions that meet the criteria associated with the notion of 'sustainability'.
