This node develops the three techniques that the Iwagé farm mixes to solve both challenges — the Provençal/Candian well as a passive geothermal exchanger, the airlocks and thermal mass of the Earthship design, and odor control through carbon-nitrogen ratio already applicable to the dry toilet.
Before being a glamping attraction, the geodesic dome is a complete habitability technology: bioclimatic due to its geometry, self-supporting without interior load-bearing walls, resistant to earthquakes and wind due to how it distributes loads, and radically efficient in the material it uses to enclose habitable space.
A geodesic dome is not "a tent with a strange shape": it is a structure that distributes loads so efficiently that it can be supported with much lighter pieces than a conventional construction of the same volume.
