I asked a friend what the largest dome in existence was and he told me about the Crenosphere. Yet to be built but still in the realm of possibilities. Ranging in size from 400-1000 feet the Crenosphere is the building of the future. If I get the money I hope to be the first or one of the first to build one. Estimated cost for just the bare shell of a 1000 foot Crenosphere? $50 million US.
