There are 2 important publications to read to learn the basics of geodesic dome structures. Actually it’s one: Domebook 1 and Domebook 2.
They are considered as the inspiration and reference bibles that launched thousands of projects. Many other books are more advanced though you will be hard pressed to find anything else as easy to read and understand as Domebook.
SEE:
Fuller designed a portable, self-contained, spherical, geodesic dome home that captured renewable energy through wind turbines, solar panels, & methane generators fitted into various round openings.
Compressed air stored in the framework would power most appliances.
It would be earthquake resistant, could withstand winds of over 200 mph, & sell for about 10% the cost of conventional homes!
