	~~'''It is possible to feed 10 people for £2100'''~~

	Geodesic domes can be built easily and cheaply and are the strongest and lightest structure yet conceived. Compared to a rectangular structure of similar size, they have half as much wall-area, which means they lose only half as much heat through the walls. This makes them very energy-efficient. If properly constructed they can resist high winds, large snow loads and even earthquakes.
