Building a New Model: Geoship's Vision for Dome-Based Housing with Micha Mikailian
May 06, 2025
Neal Collins

In this episode, Neal sits down with Micha Mikailian, CEO of Geoship, to explore a bold attempt to reimagine housing at a time when affordability, resilience, and ecological design are more urgent than ever.

Geoship is reviving Buckminster Fuller’s iconic geodesic dome—not as a nostalgic throwback, but as a scalable, bioceramic solution to today's housing and climate crises. But this episode goes deeper than domes. Neal and Micha unpack the organizational model behind Geoship, how the company is being built around community, and why its mission is resonating so strongly before a single unit has even shipped.

Whether you’re dome-curious, dome-skeptical, or somewhere in between, this is a rich conversation about architecture, systems change, and what it takes to build new models in a world that’s desperate for them.
