Floating Bamboo Dome Construction : Vol. 1

More Updating Will Be Done Before The Next Due Date

Chapter 1: Introduction To The Project

For this project, we are required to build a floating dome which is capable of carrying 3 person on board plus it is a able to survive or no major maintenance work needed to be done for 48 month.

Besides that, the boat is adequate with space for all the food, medicine and other survival kits.

Next Closest Update : 17 August 2010

Weekly Updating : 24, 31 August / 7, 14, 21 September

Submission & Testing : Wednesday 22 September 2010

Chapter 6: Preliminary Design

The pictures above shows that the preliminary design on how the boat will look like.

DOME TYPE

For this project, our dome radius is 900cm or the diameter is 1800cm and we choose to build the 2V shape dome. We feel this amount of radius is suitable and more practical to apply for this project. We feel that by creating a small space, we are able to explore more on how to maximize a minimum space. This can be done by fully utilizing the space and creating a multi-purpose space within the minimum compound. Besides that, we feel it is more easy for the boat to assembled and carried by 3 person.

Chapter 7: Building Materials

Chapter 8: Special Features

There are a few special features for the boat that will be only shown a few weeks before the final submission.

This step is important because we want to protect the copyright patent.

Chapter 9: Reference

Most of our reference came from this site and we only studied on how the owner of this website build a boat with his friends.

Production Of A Model Of A Geodesic Dome

Sorry For The Inconvenience ..

How I See The World Being A Product Of Us

this is what i think how the earth could become the product of us.....

i think.... the main and fundamental idea of every people is to develop the earth....... i mean to consume as much as possible resources to sustain our needs as a human being.... and in this process... we tends to use up the resources... until a

t one stage the earth cannot sustain the requirements of our needs.... and at that moment... the earth would have been an "exhausted" place.... so how earth is a product...... i guess....

it is the hands of us that will create a tired and exhausted earth......

this is only what i think best fit the idea of the earth being a product of a human..... there are still rooms for my statement to be corrected..... or it is still subject to correction as the time goes by... my perception towards earth might change.......

Assignment 1 : Virtual Construction

General Description Of The Photo:

This picture was taken when i was working as an technical assistant for a conservation company (Built Heritage Sdn. Bhd) from Feb 2010 to June 2010.

The person next to me is Muhammad Shokur Ali from Bangladesh, a general worker at this site.

He is been working 5 years in Malaysia and his level of conversing in Bahasa Malaysia is "sikit -sikit boleh la"

Actor:

Muhammad Mohibbuddin B. Sahul Hamid ( the guy on the left )

Muhammad Shokur Ali (the guy on the right )

the hidden actors are......

• the cameraman.....
• and all the buildings behind me and shokur.... this are the 'silent' actors that colors the background.....

Intention :

For Me : the intension was to create a friendship between me and the person beside me.

( It doesn't matter what ranks he or she holds, race and nationality... as long as his or her blood color is same as mine.... i'll try to create a friendship...)

For The Person Next To Me: For him.... i guess his intension was..... to make as many friends as possible, in a land far from home.... where language is a barrier....

the second one i think... his intension was to take this photo as fast as possible and go back to do the work... if not, his boss would be angry....

Place :

This picture was taken in a construction site at Jalan Kelawi, Penang.

to be more specific.... Construction site Of New Paragon Complex and Condominium next to gurney plaza on gurney lane....

Product :

So what's the product....... the obvious product is.... friendship is created and shown in this photo....

the hidden one..... i guess...... is a virtual commitment of helping each other at any moment....

Act :

The act is to stand next to each other as close as possible ( but not that close.... if not people would be thinking something else )

Rules :

Stand still on a agreed place and than say cheese (smile or ;) ) a simple rule that is so common and easy to follow...
