RESIDENCE OPTIONS: The Glass Dome House
Scattered around PICTORIAL B1, there are 10 small, red-orange circles with the numbers 1 through 10
next to them. These represent spaces where you might want to put RESIDENCES. Perhaps
they could all be Glass Dome Houses. As the design above shows, they could be
35-foot diameter, 962 square feet each, for one level or floor, and double that, 1924 square feet,
counting both floors.
Although Glass Dome houses might be more expensive than the Plastered Straw Bale House, they
would still be ecological housing.
These structures would work well where you want to make full use of sunlight. The glass top floor
of the house could serve several purposes: 1) Indoor gardening; 2) Indoor sunbathing; 3) Indoor
stargazing; 4) Indoor solar collectors or photo-voltaic cells; and more.
There are also many books on dwelling designs at the libraries and at
bookstores. Architects and engineers may also have many designs for these, as well. I hope you
choose the most organic, ecological dwelling as possible! I cannot help you more than this. I
am not an engineer with a college degree, nor an architect. I am a visionary writer and artist
with a science & engineering background.
