[[File:Cardboard-dome-v2.jpg|thumb|right|The second prototype]]Meanwhile I developed a second prototype with the correct math. This prototype is the base for further experiments in shape and variation. I plan to construct a life sized dome during the semester for testing and to show its versatility. I plan to cooperate with the architecture department for the structural analysis. | [[File:Cardboard-dome-v2.jpg|thumb|right|The second prototype]]Meanwhile I developed a second prototype with the correct math.

The applications for such a structure are countless. The dome shape makes it a very stable self-supporting structure. The lightweight but strong material is easy to transport and set up. | The applications for such a structure are countless. The dome shape makes it a very stable self-supporting structure.

There are many variations for an additional cover I can imagine. The simplest being fabric cut and sewn to the right shape but also filling the gaps with straw and then plastering the outer and optionally the inner wall is possible. Another alternative would be filling the gaps with a compound of straw and soil which then can be be vegetated to create a [[wikipedia:Green Roof|green roof]]. | [[File:Cardboard-dome-v3.jpg|thumb|right|The third prototype]]There are many variations for an additional cover I can imagine.

Currently I am working on a third prototype that addresses some issues of the second prototype. The third prototype will be usable in a larger scale and allow for an entrance opening. | Currently I am working on a third prototype that addresses some issues of the second prototype.
