The Dome

In order for us to understand more about form and space, we had given an assignment to built a dome by using a bamboo stick.. This is a very interesting assignment to me as i never built any structure before. However, we need to solve a problem first in order to built this dome, that is 'what we need to use to stick the satay stick together?' After a few experiment, we decide to use masking tape to stick the satay stick.

First, we need to measure the length of the stick we want.
Then we need to cut it.

To built a 2V dome, i need two type of stick, one is 10.9cm and another one is 12.4cm.

Next start to stick the bamboo satay stick.

My dome.
Finally, I have built my own dome!
