Monolithic Dome Conference Set for March 27 -March 29, 2003
FORT WORTH, Texas, (December 17, 2002 ) Builders, architects, dome enthusiasts and anyone interested in Monolithic Dome construction will have the opportunity to learn more about Monolithic Domes at the 9th annual national conference scheduled for March 27 through March 29, 2003 at the Ramada Plaza Hotel Downtown in Fort Worth, Texas.
Monolithic Domes are one-piece, steel-reinforced concrete structures that are used as homes, schools, churches, sports arenas and storage facilities. These super-insulated, round buildings are best known for their energy efficiency, easy maintenance and ability to withstand natural disasters such as tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes and even fire.
Among the professionals who will be leading seminars at the conference are: dome owners who will discuss the problems, pitfalls and successes they encountered as novice builders of Monolithic Dome homes; Architect Rick Crandall, who has designed both commercial and residential Monolithic Dome buildings; and other industry professionals.
David B. South, president of the Monolithic Dome Institute and co-inventor of the process for building domes, will give the keynote address on Friday night, March 28th. The Monolithic Dome Builders Association (MDBA), now in its third year, will conduct meetings and elect officers during the conference. Vendors associated with the industry will also have booths at the conference.
The conference will conclude with a bus trip to Italy, Texas and a tour of Monolithic's headquarters, dome homes in the area, and the new Italy High School and Avalon School's multipurpose domes. For information on registration and/or vendor booths call Anne DeMoss, conference coordinator, at (972) 483-7423.
