Monolithic Domes In Haiti
Hurricane season can take a deadly toll on many countries found in the Caribbean, such as Haiti. Most recently, Hurricane Matthew hit the small country and led to the death of almost nine hundred people. The hurricane having destroyed their homes and flooded the streets brought disease to their front doors, and for those already sick, it brought death. The country has barely been able to rebuild since the earthquake in 2010, causing the recent disaster to have a bigger impact on the country than expected had they recovered from the earthquake. The solution would be to build monolithic domes in countries such as Haiti to provide a stronger and long-lasting community.
Monolithic domes are concrete structures built in a spherical shape, they are known for being safer during tornadoes, hurricanes, and earthquakes. They have been rated as a “near-absolute protection” from Category 5 hurricanes; In 2005, the …show more content…
These homes also have the capability of being cheaply built as they are made from concrete, even though they require the knowledge of a specialized construction technique. This new requirement will provide jobs for economies in need which will, in turn, improve the society.
After the recent hit of Hurricane Matthew in Haiti and its devastating toll on the people, the idea of dome homes has been floating around. Once a research and development group has been assembled to focus on finding realistic solutions for the devastating problem at hand, then an entire country could be pulled out of poverty. For example, unevenness of rooms can be solved in the same way as “tiny-houses”, or smaller and cheaper houses could be built by creating semi-detached versions of dome homes. The solution to the natural disaster problem is within reach if only one dares to take
