I've interpreted Kahn's main objections to be that the dome shape is difficult to efficiently partition for human living. Any conventional appliances placed against walls would leave large gaps. You could put some plumbing and electrical back there, but it would still be inefficient use of space. That, and the fact that conventional house designs are effective with natural and found materials, and you have geodesics beat. That said, I'm constantly looking at this problem because I feel that there must be some important concepts that could be derived from geodesics without the dome aspect.
