help with building a temple to explore sound
-
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
-
@alchemikey so what is my next move to make this dream into a reality?
-
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

You might want to attend one of our workshops to gain the necessary skills and knowledge.

Hey alchemikey!! i Have a similar project im doing right now, i can share some thoughts with you and how im doing it, the ones i will be building are also for sound ceremonies and meditation, ive done a lot of research. much love and good luck, where are you located by the way?
-
@hajjargibran i will be on the west coast come august so that could work out
-
@living4resonance i am currently living near syracuse new york but i travel around a lot...would love to hear anything you have to share...thanks
-
I look forward to meeting you there.

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.
-
@hajjargibran Ok, thank you. How do I get in touch with her?

@alchemikey this is an interesting design. I am a Buddhist priest living in Halifax, NS.
Blessings for your project. -
@hajjargibran Thank you!

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