Topography: wind

The water edge is on the West and there is a neighbors on the South. These areas need to be considered in design.

Geodesic dome structure

Group project

This structure is a combination of trusses and shell structures. The elements experience either tension or compression force

Materials assigned Wooden Skewers: strong, can be cut to required length, provide long span Toothpicks: thinner material, strong , light

Evolution of our design In our studies we tried to make samples of different domes, so we could explore different ideas to produce something that looked visually more interesting.

Design sketches

Tools Used Glue gun : to join the skewer pieces together Wires cutter : to cut the skewers and the toothpicks into perfect sizes

Our first study using toothpicks of different sizes.

We were unable to form a proper shape.

We were successful in forming a geodesic dome using barbeque sticks ; however, we felt it was too simple.

We reduced the size of the triangle and created another structure using barbeque sticks that casted beautiful shadows

Documentation Of the process

Limitations Of the structure Cannot handle lot of shear at the top of the dome

Limitations in making the model Creating the curvature using the wooden sticks and Gluing the sticks together neatly. Building the bridge to connect the domes. Ensure the domes are in the right required size.
