Living in a dome isn't that crazy of an idea; quite a few people are doing it, and you can even get kits to build your own geodesic dome. These can be small one-room affairs or large houses with thousands of square feet and multiple levels. But say you aren't interested in a kit and you want to build something entirely from scratch. It can be hard to find "dome plans" that will fit the bill.
I did come across an interesting site that has diagrams and instructions on how to build a dome from the bottom up, using bamboo as the framing material. Of course, this is not going to work in every climate (I don't know about you, but I don't have any bamboo growing outside my door), but if you have a property in the tropics, it could be a fun project. Here's the link if it's something you'd like to check out:
