Show Home: a liveable geodesic shelter dome created from estate agent boards and poles. The structure is a larger version of my previous To Live and To Play domes.
This was its public debut at Maker Faire UK, part of Newcastle Science Fest 2011.
The dome is 4 metres in diameter, 3 metres high, constructed from 135 estate agent boards and 25 wooden poles. The outer shell is held together with 270 plastic nuts and bolts.

Mithras was the central god of Mithraism, a syncretic Hellenistic mystery religion of male initiates that developed in the Eastern Mediterranean in the 2nd and 1st centuries BC and was practiced in the Roman Empire from the 1st century BC to the 5th century AD.
Mithraism apparently originated in the Eastern part of today's Iran around the 7th century BC [citation needed]. It was practiced in the Roman Empire since the first century BC[citation needed], and reached its apogee around the third through fourth centuries AD, when it was very popular among the Roman soldiers. Mithraism disappeared from overt practice after the Theodosian decree of AD 391 banned all pagan rites, and it apparently became extinct thereafter.
here's the portfolio as it stands, still got things to add such as more photos of bigger pieces and a few more sketches.
An old Ifugao Hut in Tam-awan Village. It is said that if a couple does not bear a child within a year of iving together, The native Ifugao couple stays here for a couple of months where a shaman (locally called mumbaki) performs a ritual upon them. A closer look at the houses will tell you they are well built , originally without a single nail used. A pride of philippine culture that is, sad to say, vanishing!
#24 Tovrea Castle and Carraro Cactus Garden
5041 East Van Buren Street Phoenix
Phoenix, AZ
This historic building has quite a history in Arizona. In 1928, Alessio Carraro, successful sheet metal businessmen, decided to build a resort reminiscent of those found in his native Italy. Allessio hired a Russian gardener to decorate the 44 acre site with plants and cacti from all over the world. The garden was topped with an Italian castle, resembling that of a tiered wedding cake.
In 1930, neighbor and owner of a nearby meat packing plant, E.A. Tovrea purchased land next to the Carraro development. Disliking the idea of cattle and sheep pens next to his resort, he sold the development to the Tovrea family in 1931.
E.A. Tovrea’s wife lived in the castle long after his passing. In 1969, she was the victim of a home invasion where she was beaten and robbed. Months later, she died from complications of the attack. Rumor has it, there is still a bullet hole in the kitchen.
The castle is now in the care of the City of Phoenix Parks and Recreation Department. The city was offering tours of the castle, but with budget cuts, the castle is closed to the public until further notice. The city is working hard to keep this site historic and out of the hands of developers looking to create more housing….which is just what we need here in Phoenix.
If you would like to find out how you can help preserve a unique piece Arizona’s history, please contact the City at (602) 256-3220. You can also visit www.phoenix.gov/parks/tovrea.html and www.phoenixparksfoundation.com/
Wander through a field of enticing white plaster mounds located along the river. Poured into thin latex molds, the plaster is used to ‘freeze’ the concave and convex curves formed by latex under tensile stresses. By relying on gravity and the weight of the plaster to create each curvature, structural catenary and parabolic curves are achieved (allowing for lighter shell forms). The smoothness of the latex sheet forms a slick and touchable surface. The variety of small, medium, and large mounds create a landscape that ramps up to direct visitors towards the Charles River and/or MIT’s campus. Ultimately, passersby are drawn to explore and inhabit this field. Some will merely meander between the mounds, while others will relax, sit or lounge against the smooth plaster shapes.
Funded in part by a grant from the Council for the Arts at MIT.
