The First Monolithic Dome Builders Workshop.

The First Monolithic Dome Builders Workshop

1994: The graduating class of the first Monolithic Dome Builders Workshop poses with the staff at Monolithic.

David B. South’s contemporaries felt that his idea of hosting workshops to teach others how to build Monolithic Domes would never work, and if it did, it would be a good way to train competitors who might put Monolithic out of business.

South believed the technology should be shared freely and that there would always be more domes to build than builders ready to build them.
