PERMACULTURE
The application of permaculture to the architecture of the geodesic dome represents an interesting integration of sustainable design, spatial efficiency, and permaculture principles. Geodesic domes are architectural structures built from interconnected triangles that form a dome, and are known for their structural strength and efficiency in the use of materials. By incorporating permaculture principles into the design of these domes, the aim is to create habitable environments that are respectful of the environment and promote self-sufficiency.
In summary, permaculture seeks to establish sustainable systems that promote harmony between people and nature, with a focus on resource conservation and ecosystem regeneration.
HOW WE INTEGRATE OUR PRINCIPLES IN:
CONSTRUCTION
ANGULAR requires light foundation systems. They are low-impact anchoring or fixing systems to the ground, not requiring any type of concrete.
INSULATION
The exterior cover is composed of three laminated layers that provide sufficient insulation in 95% of cases. However, we also have natural insulation in materials such as cotton, cork, wood, or Merino wool.
SPACE EFFICIENCY
The geodesic domes from ANGULAR provide a spacious and efficient interior, maximizing sunlight and allowing for efficient air circulation. Our design can be adapted to include multifunctional areas and creative housing solutions, aligning with the principle of “Care of People” in permaculture.
MECHANISMS
Thanks to our manual dome rotation system, you can easily adjust the orientation of the dome to take advantage of the best sun exposure throughout the different seasons of the year
RENEWABLE ENERGIES
Incorporate renewable energy sources, such as solar panels or small wind turbines, to generate electricity. This can enable the dome to be self-sufficient in terms of energy and aligns with the principle of “Fair Share of Surpluses.”
DISMANTLING
Leaves no trace on the ground thanks to our innovative foundation system. ANGULAR plans for waste management during the construction and operation of the dome. It promotes recycling and the reuse of materials whenever possible.
RECYCLING RAINWATER
The roofs of geodesic domes are ideal for rainwater harvesting. Water collection systems are integrated into the design to collect and store water for use in irrigation and other non-potable purposes. This reduces dependence on external water supplies in a sustainable manner, thus supporting the principle of “Care for the Earth”.
WATER EFFICIENCY
Implements efficient plumbing systems that reduce water consumption. Include low-flow toilets, high-efficiency faucets and showers, and motion sensors for the activation and deactivation of water flow, with the aim of minimizing waste and promoting responsible use of this vital resource.
WASTEWATER DISPOSAL
We reccomend the use of eco-friendly wastewater treatment systems, such as septic tanks or greywater treatment systems, to reduce environmental pollution.
LIGHTING
ANGULAR is committed to reducing light pollution, so we install low-energy LED lighting inside and outside the dome.
