Bamboo GUADUATECH Dome - UBI Interactive Test 1

Second Ubi-Interactive Software Test
Interactive Bamboo Geodesic Dome: Daniel Cheyne, Guaduatech and Koolbamboo lead architect as an interpretation for the innovative idea “School in The Cloud” as described by Sugata Mitra in the Ted Award video below. His idea "SOLE" which stands for self organized learning center is an interactive school or self learning center where children and adults who would not normally have access to the Internet would be able to access information. This project is using UBI interactive software. This software makes any surface an interactive touch screen. The idea laid out by Sugata Mitra in conjunction with the bamboo Dome and touch screen technology allows a specialized space this structure could be used in any configuration that would suite the clients need. This IBGD 3000 is also a state of the art Bamboo structure. Using the patented Guaduatech system of joinery, only available here, allows bamboo to be joined at is uttermost extremities without crisscrossing bamboo poles. This bamboo is also mature at 4-6 years and sequesters carbon in its life span. Guadua Bamboo is a thick walled species so it requires extremely strong joinery in this context. R. Buckminster Fuller was was responsible for creating the formulas for the creation of the dome and use as a structural design. The domes specifications are 11 meters and 5.5 high at the center. It can be covered in canvas but in this case using recycled panels from common refuse called Ecoplak.
