The 10th of september was finally the day on which we presented our dome. Naturally we had to make a lot of preperations and measures before we rebuilt our dome on the submitting date, because it really does not look like as simple as it is, especially we had to consider all the items of the production process: Intention, Act, Actor, Rules, Site and finally the Product (=Dome).
Especially the rules, which were given from our lecturer did not make it easier for us to built an dome, here there are:

To give you a first impression how our dome looked like, here is the first pricture of our dome.These picture shows our PRODUCT => an geodesic dome!!!
We can also see the SITE of the product, it was planned to be rebuilt on the HBP premise.
As a matter of course such a dome can not be built oneself. Our group, which is called D ONE and consists of five people, so we were the ACTORS of this dome. It was a very interesting misxture, as we are from different countries and we have all different mayors.

There was a lot work which had to be done before starting to built a dome. As you can see on the picture, we had to make some research in the internet to found out which form our dome should have,which measures the bamboos have to have and what kind of materials we have to use.
All these decisions which concers these things are part of the ACT of the production.
