There is a neat type of greenhouse that is gaining attention called a geodesic dome greenhouse. It first originated in the 1960s and 70s from a futuristic designer named Buckminster Fuller. A geodesic dome greenhouse consists of small sections of triangular glazing cut out and fitted over a steel frame. Interestingly, the structure uses a thinner frame to achieve the same strength as a rectangular greenhouse.Â
