Are triangles and hexagons the only shapes one can use to make a geodesic sphere?
Geodesic basically means transferring a straight line to a curved space. It means that, somewhere in the sphere, there should be a straight line that goes around it, curved.So, yeah, triangles are the only shapes that create those 'arches'.Every opening in a (standard) geodesic dome building is a triangular opening, surrounded by 3 struts.If you tried to use any shape other than a triangle (a square, pentagon, or hexagon), in a geodesic dome building, such an opening would be mechanically unstable.One can find many hexagons and a few pentagons in a (standard) geodesic dome building -- but there are no hexagonal holes or pentagonal holes.All the pentagons have 5 struts inside dividing them up into 5 triangles.(the center of these pentagons is the only place 5 struts come together to a point).All the hexagons have 6 struts inside dividing them up into 6 triangles.In a few geodesic dome buildings, one can find a few squares -- but likewise, all the squares have 1 or 4 struts inside dividing them up into triangles.The "C60 Bucky ball", named for R. Buckminster Fuller, is a truncated icosahedron (as mimicked by the common soccer ball) and has 32 faces with twelve pentagons and 20 hexagons.All fullerene molecules, including C60 and carbon nanofibers, have exactly 12 pentagonal openings and many hexagonal openings, but no triangular openings.(Such shapes are highly stable -- the forces between the carbon atoms in a fullerene act differently than the forces between mechanical struts in a building).Other geodesic spheres, polyhedrons, of various faces are also possible but the triangular face is the type most commonly used in construction due to the inherent strength of the triangle.

What special geometric forms were used to make the geodesic domes?
The polyhedron, upon which most geodesic domes are based, is the icosahedron. The icosahedron has 20 equilateral triangle faces. By subdividing the icosahedron face into smaller triangles, then "pushing" the triangle vertices outward (to the surface of a circumscribing sphere,) a more-complex triangulated polyhedron can be produced -- a "geodesic" sphere, or dome. By subdividing the icosahedron face into greater-and-greater numbers of smaller-and-smaller triangles, more complex geodesic spheres/domes are produced.

One of the most famous examples of a Roman dome is found on which building?
Several ancient Roman buildings had a dome. The most famous one is the Pantheon, which was originally a temple dedicated to all gods. It is well preserved because it was turned into a Christian church. Its dome is still the largest unreinforced concrete dome in the world. However, it is not a central dome. The temple is a rotunda whose wall supports the dome. Other ancient Roman buildings in Rome which had a dome were the Baths of Agrippa, the Baths of Trajan. A Temple in Baiae (near Naples) had a dome. Since the 17th century it has been called Temple of Mercury. Originally it was called Temple of Echo because sounds echoed around the dome. It was the largest dome in the world until the Pantheon was built in Rome. The churches of the Eastern Romans (also called Byzantines) usually had a central dome and sometimes two to four more domes. The most famous of these is the church of the Hagia Sophia in Constantinople (now Istanbul).

Are there stairs design made by someone famous?
There would most likely not be staircase designs made by someone famous. Staircases are a lesser field of design. Building is also a sort of quiet art.
