Versatile building blocks make structures with surprising mechanical properties

[JohnnyYesterday]

Since there is a lot of silicon on the Moon, glass-based metamaterials will probably be a good choice for that location. What would be the best choice for a large, relatively light-weight,  multilayered airtight dome in the Interplanetary Age, using local materials?

Unless translucency is required, basalt fiber is a superior material over fiberglass for building construction.

A pneumatically-supported dome made from layers of basalt fiber cloth and aluminum or titanium membranes would be my guess. Armor the dome against micrometeorites using Whipple shields and tubulane-inspired metamaterials.
