 | | In fact, Sunny lives in a 2 storey dome and Collin is looking for land upon which to build his. |
 | | Their illustrated presentation showed how these ingenious modern buildings are erected: first a large PVC-coated form is inflated, urethane insulation is sprayed on from the inside, a reinforcing steel (rebar) grid is installed, and shotcrete (a kind of concrete) is sprayed on top of all that. |
 | | As Sunny and Collin modestly claim: "the monolithic dome is the most environmentally efficient, tornado, hurricane and earthquake resistant, versatile, insect/rodent proof, maintenance-reduced, highly secure, forward-thinking, design-unlimiting, greenhouse gas reducing, fireproof, permanent, long-lived, physically attractive structure encompassing all that is great in ancient archetecture in the world!"....and that's why they build them! |
