| 摘要 |
The invention relates to dome-shaped constructions or buildings, made from a limited range of modular panels curved in two axes, each shaped like a rectangle projected on to a sphere, having complementary edges for interconnection. Each panel is made from a plastics material by a rotational moulding process. Overlapping vertical courses and horizontal tiers of panes fit together. Strength may be supplemented with girdles. Options include elongated structures comprising hemi- dome ends separated by an intermediate straight section, and raised domes supported on panels. Hollow centres are used for tie-down straps and for convective air flow. |
