Randy, Barry and David B. South

2000: All three co-inventors of the Monolithic Dome, Randy, Barry, and David B. South, at the inflation of Faith Chapel in Birmingham, Alabama.

The South Brothers stand in front of the largest Airform built for a Monolithic Dome Church to date. It is 280 feet in diameter and 72 feet tall, covering 87,000 square feet.

The three men founded Monolithic together in 1980, with David, the eldest, at the helm. Later, Barry establishes Dome Technology, David moves Monolithic to Texas, and Randy starts South Industries.
