"We hear a lot of talk these days about sustainable development. We have the tools right now to turn these catch phrases from rhetoric to reality." -- Rebecca South Peterson
I come away from Morocco believing more and more that Domes For The World Foundation needs to come up with a plan for a complete Global Village... Of course, the use of Monolithic Domes and EcoShells is integral to achieving the goals of such a project. Read More...

Can EcoShells Be Insulated?

An EcoShell, like a Monolithic Dome, is built of reinforced concrete. But unlike that of a Monolithic Dome, the EcoShell's Airform is removed and reused. Nor is an EcoShell usually sprayed with an insulating blanket of polyurethane foam. Obviously, an EcoShell and a Monolithic Dome are very different structures. Read More...

Domes For The World Foundation Asks You to Help

Technology has thankfully shrunken our world to the extent that we can no longer ignore the plight of our neighbors and has given us the means by which we can take care of each other better.

EcoShell Gets Much Attention at International Trade Show

Peter A. Tower, who has spent much of 2005 building EcoShells in India or teaching others how to do it, recently participated in a two-week, international trade-show.

Southern Sudan Education Project and Manute Bol Raise Funds for EcoShell School in Yomchiir

On Friday, December 2, 2005, the Southern Sudan Education Project (SSEP) held a banquet and fundraiser at the Utah Multicultural Center in Salt Lake City. The keynote speaker for the event was Manute Bol-- best known as the "Tallest man in the world." Kristy Swapp and Abraham Gai are the founders of the SSEP. Kristy is from Utah and Abraham is one of the original "Lost Boys" of Sudan. SSEP's short-term, immediate goal is building a school in Abraham's village. This needs to be done immediately. Hence, last week's fundraiser was put together and was an exciting event.

Peter Tower Tells Monolithic About Building Ecoshells in India

I have built log homes, geodesic domes, steel frame kit homes and remodeled several older homes, but all of that pales in comparison to building simple Ecoshells in India. My assumption was that starting a dome building company in India would be difficult, but it wasn't. A visit from the President of India, Dr. Kalam, brought us a ton of publicity, and we now face a very bright future indeed. This technology is precisely suited for this economy, climate and use, and I want to thank David South for helping to make it happen
