Just pulled down some photos and a short description from our friends over at MonolithicDome.com
It seems there is a Polish radio station that decided that they wanted to do a complex of domes for their office structure. Its all very Mars colony looking. Muy cool, but I would have gone with a different layout, perhaps something in a spoke hub.
Anyways I thought I would throw some pictures up and the description from the monolithic domes website, just so folks could see how these bulding look in clusters. You might notice that a fair amount of the windows appear to get direct sunlight, w/very little problems with building obstructions!

RMF Radio Station in Poland Occupies 21st Century Facility

by David B. South
In 1998, we received a visit from the Polish Radio station , Radio Muzyka Fakty Sp.z oo (RFM-FM). This large radio station covers all of Poland, but also broadcasts to audiences in other countries. Chicago, Illinois is the second largest broadcasting city for Poles and Warsaw is number one.
The management personnel who visited in 1998 told us they wanted a "well, thought-out" office complex for their radio station. We worked with them for a few months on the design, but they wanted the facility done much faster than we were able to provide at the time. So they contracted another Monolithic Dome builder in France who ended up building this facility for them.
This facility offers a 21st or 22nd Century exterior. Whenever I show people the photograph of this office complex they always remark, "Oh neat!" or "That's spectacular!" Can you imagine a visit to this place? You wouldn't look at an office building in the same light again. This same general complex can be built for a school, church, college -- something that looks to the future.
It's been proven that the modern or futuristic look affects people in a positive way. We have seen this at Emmett High School in Emmett, Idaho. A super-modern facility has a very positive impact on students. Likewise, a Monolithic Dome facility can send a super-modern message to any retail establishment, manufacturing plant, church, and more.
