This design incorporates 24 pillars with an interior outdoor courtyard with 314sq meters of space. The complete roof structure is supported by the 24 free-standing 1.2m x 4m x 7m pillars. The end of the roofs may contain cable stays to support the roof.

I have started to populate my new gallery system I built for my sites CMS. I also have designed smaller versions for smaller devices so they do not download many MBs of images too big for their devices.

Viewing the main gallery will display larger than normal thumbnails for each image along with a description and or link to more info for that image.

If you click on image a larger scaled version for you screen size will be download to view in a pop up window. Once larger image is displayed you can use the keyboard left and right arrow keys, mouse wheel while hovering over image, and image nav left and right buttons to view other pictures in gallery if any.

Below image you can download a full size version for your personal use.

If the image has an associated file you can also download that for your personal use.

This is a rather larger Dome. I used the profile from a surplus air form from monolithic domes. The dome is 110 ft by 45ft. I split it in half and filled in an area between them to extend the length by 40 meters.

With my 8^th version of a multifamily dome, I have stuck with the 40meter dome with 3 floors. This time the dome is broken up into 6 slices each with a 2 floor extension.

Just some fun with Fibonacci.

Here are 2 more Rammed Earth Designs houses.

With these 2 designs I choose a rectangle block, and another design with round pillars of rammed earth.

So up to a few weeks ago, I have been making 3D looking images with my available drawing programs (2D). Then I gave Google SketchUp a try. Very basic 3D CAD but very easy to use.

So around 2003 I was thinking about how I could make my multifamily dome community safer while minimizing the amount of pavement for the development.

My solution was a development that only had one-way roads. All intersections were roundabouts with a clear view of any oncoming traffic.

Please note this does not affect any of my non-commissioned LEGO art and pictures.
