Retractable Loop-Dome
Retractable Loop-Dome allows the dome to continuously change
its shape according to changes in the diameter of the oculus.
It has several architectural advantages such as 1) environmental
control by changing the diameter of the oculus, 2) rational
construction utilizing peripheral folding, and 3) artistically
dynamic expression through change in overall shape. However,
such a dome has not yet been realized because there exist problems
relating to the structural rationality. |
