Structure: BUILDING A DOMO STRUCTURE.

This workshop consists of making a "Dome" type spatial structure, like a cathedral. We will do it small at the workshop and later we will have a competition to find out.

It will be able to made with soda straws and cardboard connectors attached with staples. It requires working in a group.

It could be used and exhibited as a model for sustainable development, since it is the building that requires the least material and at the same time allows more efficient air conditioning.

There are straws with a size of 74 centimeters (and 6.6 cm).
Even so, with 74 centimeters, we obtain a structure of 5 meters in diameter and with a height to be determined according to the abilities of the students.

There are different options that can be calculated with the program “desert domes”.



Goals to achive:

- To make a structure.
- To know the principles of balance.

Contents to be developed:

- Forces, types, profiles and structures.


Methodology. The instructions are the follows:

ARCHITECTURE, ART, HISTORY and GEOMETRY WORKSHOP.

Introduction.      In this workshop we are going to build different domes with the same wooden profile following geometric patterns.      First we will practice with small profiles and at the end with large profiles like the one in the attached photograph. Goals: - To Know the principles of architecture. - To Study how to distribute the weights in a dome - To Make different architectural configurations. Methodology:      Initial activity:      We start by making a circle with all the participants standing, we turn while making the circle smaller and smaller and everyone approaches. We put our hands on the shoulders of what is in front of us.      Now, little by little, we can flex until we are completely seated on the knees of the partner behind us, while the partner in front is seated on our knees.      If we do it carefully and in a coordinated way we will not fall and we ...

LEONARDO DA VINCI STRUCTURES

Structure is a set of different items with the objective to suport loads The structures keep the shape unde the force of gravity, the wind or any other force. A example of structure is a human skeleton, bycycles... Types of forces These loads can stretch, shorten, or bend. Then we say that these items works traction (tight), compresion (pilar) or flexion (beam). A way to khown this in a structure is making an imáginary cut . There two more forces: shear and torsion.             -    Shear is force that try to cut the objets.               -  Torsion is a force that try to turn the element. Types of structures:           - Frame structures. It is the most commoon of structure. It have a lot of elements joind to each other. It is empty. Example is a bycicle or a house              - Shell structures. This structure have a thin out...
