Posted this in the Tiny House section but it just looks so much like a potential foamie design that I wanted to post it here as well. It reminds me of a less refined version of something Glenn would(has) designed.

It's...something. :NC I guess I would call the exterior design interesting from a curiosity standpoint. It doesn't seem too practical or nearly as lightweight as it could be.

It think a better design would be to use the upper halves of the domes and 10-sides whatever the middle section is called, but go vertical below that.

Agreed. It looks like a waste of space and unstable. Not very user friendly or even insulated. The idea of the ends being geodesic has possibilities. If you could precision cut foam pieces so you could glue them together to make 1/4 domes it might be worth doing. It would be a pain to cover.
