eco-dome
Sustainable habitat structure
An eco-dome is a dome-shaped structure designed for environmental sustainability, typically featuring energy-efficient construction, natural climate regulation, or self-contained ecosystems.
The term covers everything from geodesic greenhouse habitats to futuristic enclosed communities: The botanical garden's eco-dome houses tropical plants year-round.
Some eco-domes function as experimental spaces for studying closed ecological systems.
