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.
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 8th 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 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.
So after more research and some specs from Monolithic Domes, I made some changes. First off this height of the dome would have a 34ft or more center height. This means I can get 3 floors within each resident area.
Just after art collage, I found some information about people building Monolithic Domes.
Basically, they would blow up a balloon that is the full size of the house. Add some spray-on foam and short create with rebar, and just as that house is done. Well still needs the interior comforts, but a structure builds to last, and through anything.
This design has been my current Dream House design for some time. The design incorporates only exterior walls that support the roof, giving the whole house an open and flowing layout. Once you enter the front door most of the outer windows are in view giving a panorama of views.
For humans to travel to distant solar systems and searching for habitable planets to colonize, the past technology used to exit the Earth’s atmosphere is not capable of sending the needed resources with the travelers.
