"The production of 40 Geodesic Domes on the Dome Spine between HBP and The Valley of Dome, USM, Domesday, 10 September 2008."
The ANCIENT BUILDERS: Chuah San Yu*(leader), Wang Zhong Hao, Loo Ruey Chih, , Chen Yi Qian, Frederick Tan Wooi Hean. With the copulate motto, LIGHT AND EASY, the dome was built with Kayu Mertam which collected from Chinese hearse and coffin shop, light and easy to be shaped into suitable size. It was bound with ropes which were collected at dock where fisherman used to tie boat knot. Coconut ropes were also was used. All materials are recyclable. Lastly, the dome was packaged. The team was good in collecting the free materials. Also, no steel material has been used, hence, no rusting condition will occur. The team had estimate the dome’s lifespan will be more than a year, and the dome was found still standing nicely after the heavy rain.
The fourth team, Easy 5, has a fantastic motto, Theater Of Your Mind. The fantastic dome was built by Teh Yee Hong*(leader), and 4 other amazing members, Cheng Bee Ting, Liu Ying Huan, Cheng Fang Chee, and Ng Kang Lin. The team had chosen the PVC pipe as their dome materials, hence they were easily can be found and carry able. The dome was bound with screw and cover with black rubbish bags. The 2v structural dome was able completed within 30 minutes as the dome was prefabricated.
The ninth team, ANGKATAN ANAK MALAYA: Mohamad Sufuan bin Mazlan (leader), Wan Muhammad 'Atiyya bin Wan Azman, Izyan bt Ahmad Mokhtar, Norfadhlina bt Saing, Siti Farsha Murni bt Izami. Materials such as bamboo pieces, nylon strings, hard advertising poster was used. The constructed dome is not considered as a proper dome, as it has no 1v or 2v structure. Same comment was given by lecturer as team Silent Youth, by the reason of similar appearance, design and construction. I wonder if it is able to fit in 5 people due to its small volume.
The dome above make from group 14 and the team name is UNITED GROUP. The team member of this group are Mohammad Ariffin Yaacob (Building Technology) ,Siti Nur Hazirah Bt. Mohd. Mahadzir (Construction Management) ,Nur Aishah Binti Mohd. Zuki (Planning) ,Nur Aishah Binti Mohd. Zuki(Planning) ,Meisam Namdar(Building Technology) .This group choose the PVC pipe as their materials to structure their dome. For the reason the PVC pipes are light, this are able carry by three person. They uses the rubberized cloth to tie the pipe together. Beside that, they collect the unwanted plastic from their house to cover up the dome. The cover can protect the sunlight go through directly to the dome.
