The Fuller Institute list is now dated. Several important domes missed or built later are now in the top 10. Currently, many geodesic domes are larger than {{Convert|113|m|ft}} in diameter.<ref name="Domes of over 100m">{{cite web|url=https://www.geometrica.com/en/latestnews/over-100 |title=Domes of over 100m |date=12 November 2018 |publisher=geometrica.com |access-date=2019-05-04}}</ref>
