Project Title

Metallic & Fabric Dome

Project Summary

The goal is to design a dome composed of a metallic support structure and a fabric cover. The dome must be a V3 or V4 geo-dome with a diameter of 6.8 meter. The design main goals are:

  1. To find a simple, robust and easy solution for the junction nodes of dome structure using metallic profiles.
  2. To find and implement a solution for an articulate and automatic entrance door, which occupies a full hexagon.
  3. To find and implement a solution for the automatic operation of the windows.
  4. To build a scale model and/or a full scale detail of the structure, e.g. the junction node.

The project requirements are:

  1. Reuse provided materials;
  2. Use low cost hardware solutions;
  3. Use open source software;
  4. Adopt the International System of Units (NIST International Guide for the use of the International System of Units);
  5. Comply with the machine (2006/42/CE 2006‐05‐17),
