Update on Project Outline

I have said that my topic is about Monolithic Dome Construction, but i haven't given anything specific. I will be comparing Monolithic Domes to traditional forms of construction(wood frame), and other types of dome construction(Geodesic). For those who don't know a Monolithic Dome is a thin walled structure and is "a super-insulated, steel reinforced concrete structure used for homes, schools, gymnasiums, bulk storage facilities, churches, and offices". Certain aspects that i will be looking at are: costs, time, stability and how the building reacts to severe weather conditions. I want to determine if Dome structures are a better alternative to other types of buildings.

I am having trouble finding sources so any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
