Geodome project

 Geodome Project Dec 2020

Hi, My name is David Bain, born in Edinburgh, Scotland in the second half of the 20th Century. Currently living in a rural setting ~ 2 miles from the pretty village of Adare situated in the mid-west of Ireland. 

Inspired, if thats the right word, by the Covid 19 pandemic, a slightly dystopian view of potential outcomes led to a new interest in growing vegetables. Anther development that transpired during the pandemic was the need for social spaces ...outdoors, where the risk of transmission would be acceptably low.

And so, in the summer of 2020 I started to look around for a structure that could enhance the production of the range of fruit and vegetables given the coldish, wettish conditions in Ireland and also perhaps be compatable with sheltering people from the elements whilst remaining 'outdoors'. The nature of the Geodome seemed to be a potential fit....in that it can be of a temporary nature, is potentially adaptable in opening up sidewalls etc and most importantly is a step into the unknown for me....a challenge if you will.

And so it began!
