      hello...i am looking for the best way to build this design

      do you think this would be possible with the air-crete?

        That is an interesting design. Is there something about the proportions that enhances sound waves? From a structural point of view there maybe issues at the point where the top of the larger dome approaches horizontal. It's supporting a lot of weight there so it would need to be engineered accordingly.

          the curves are all in golden ratio as you go up the structure...it would be more an exploration with sound than anything but i do feel those proportions would help in creating standing waves at each domed section making it easy to go up and down in octaves with your voice

          yes i hear you...that is where it had some difficulties with a small 3d print of it but it was able to do it

              Where is your building site? Do you need a permit? What kind of help do you need? How much money are you prepared to invest in it?

                so the idea is to start off small with these..i want to make like personal meditation / chanting chambers...i would love to be able to build one on the back of a trailer so i could be mobile with it and bring it to festivals

                because they would be relatively small i dont think a permit would be needed...i need help with the turning the design into reality...i have about 5 grand i can put towards it right now

                              I hate to be the bearer of possible bad news, but wouldn't aircrete by its porous nature absorb sound? I would think this would deaden any tones inside, not enhance them like a metal, granite or quartz structure (such as the interior of the King's chamber in the Giza pyramid) would.

                                @hajjargibran I will be in the Pacific NW starting Aug. 6. Is it possible to attend part of a workshop? My family owns 8 acres of land overlooking the sea in Jamaica and I'd love to build an aircrete dome home there. We'd be happy to host a workshop even. What do you suggest?

                                  You maybe able to come for a short while to observe silently. But you best contact Debra at Indigo farms first.

                                        @alchemikey this is an interesting design. I am a Buddhist priest living in Halifax, NS.

                                            Alchemikey in my opinion it would be to have an airform made similar to what I have in this video.
