air dome

Lloyd sent us a beautiful air form for a conference in Oregon at Nolan's place. My idea was to be mean to the airform and try to get a shell shape out of it-- by tieing ropes over it. This worked well. The inside surface was wrinkled but  it was sea shell- like--much more interesting than a simple dome. I'd do this again. Especially with large, boring domes.

We then tried to plaster the outside surface of the airform-- without much success. Spraying the inside ,overhead has always seemed strange to me (dangerous/expensive/high tec).  I'll be more excited about airforms as soon as you can spray the outside and build up the roof from the outside.Placing concrete overhead is goofy.
