Concept & Experience
The Dome Concept is a contemporary multi-functional space designed to create an interactive and
engaging visitor experience through workshops, exhibitions, and community activities. The
project combines modern architecture with flexible public spaces to encourage creativity,
learning, and social interaction.
The building includes exhibition areas, workshop huts, storage spaces, and a central event zone
featuring a stage-like space with a fountain that transforms for different activities and
gatherings. The workshops focus on hands-on experiences such as pottery making, glass painting,
ceramic painting, and planting activities within the glasshouse.
Structure & Materials
The dome structure is constructed using an aluminum T-piece framing system, where bolted
connections form the primary structural grid supporting the glass panels. Solar glass is applied
across the surface to reduce glare and contribute to on-site energy generation, improving the
building's overall sustainability.
Through material optimization studies, an 800 mm edge length was identified as the most efficient
module, minimizing glass waste during fabrication and cutting. This approach ensures both
constructability and material efficiency while maintaining the geometric clarity of the dome
form.
