When it comes to "making it watertight", all other construction methods beat a geodesic dome.
making it with long-lasting materials, sufficient air flow, sufficient light, minimal radiant heat, and water tight sounds like a nightmare with all those nooks and crannies exposed to the intense sun and rain. With my background in rot repair, I love buildings with simple roof geometry and large overhangs, here in Hawaii.
