Week 2 : Final plan for materials and model

Hello again,

here is our group name:
3S

&
name of our floating dome is
DOMESAURUS

We visited a shop today to survey on the materials for Domesaurus.

For economical and environmental reasons, we decided to use
recyclable materials to build Domesaurus.

Finalized materials:
Bamboo for base
Plastic bottles to build up the hemisphere (Dome)
Raffia string for joints
Bolt & nut for top joint of dome


Measurement for bamboo base:
150cm X 150cm
(previously was 120cm X 120cm)
We changed the measurements because the bamboo 
we tend to buy comes in a length of 300cm.



Measurements for the dome:
Diameter of base - 130cm
Height - 100cm


Next, we finalized the model using Google SketchUp.



Next week: Purchase and collection of materials.
