Introduction

The Atlas Construction System did not appear overnight. It has evolved through years of research, observation, practical construction experience, and continuous refinement.

We decided to share the journey in developing this innovative system with you through a series of articles. These articles follow that evolution by explaining not only how the system is constructed, but also why each component was developed and how every design decision contributes to the overall performance of an Atlas Dome Home.

Whether you are a homeowner, builder, engineer, investor, or simply interested in innovative construction, these articles provide an insight into the engineering philosophy behind Atlas Dome Homes.

It all started with the "Dome". For strength, beauty, and to create a spacious and pleasing environment.

Follow the ongoing development of the Atlas Construction System through this growing series of technical articles. At the beginning, we soon realized it could only be possible with a beam system. At first, it was concrete. Soon we realized that steel was standardizable, easy to produce, and transport.
