On 24th Sept, studio master tell us that we are going to build a big dome with 8m height and 16m in diameter. Every student need to prepare either 1 or 2 bamboo strip for this big dome. All the bamboo are prepared by our studio master and is situalted at the Rumpun Buluh Village. All the student need to go there to prepare their own strip.
Bamboo prepared by our studio master.
First, we need to measure the length that we need. Mine is 2503mm.
Then we start to cut the bamboo.
On 27th Sept, we need to prepare the connector for our strip so that it can connect with other bamboo to built the dome.
On 1st Oct, En. 1b want us to build our dome according to our section. Due to the instruction not very clear and we not sure what to do so we decide to connect our bamboo strip according to the picture below.
Our section start planning...
The thing that we had complete on that day...
On 11th Oct, we start to build our big dome. We built it start from our base with the instruction of our studio master, Ar Najib (picture below).
However, that our dome has failed to assembly on that day due to strip problem. Most of the strip is not tight enough and so it cannot support the dome. Thus for those strips that are not tight enough, it need to redo again.
This time we strengthen our strip with tyre strip.
But our studio master decide to screw our strip.
On that day also, every section need to built a gangplank and scaffold. By using bamboo and string.
On 24th Oct, we start to built our dome again but without using gangplank and scaffold.
Finally with the help of everyone in RUS 101, we manage to built the big dome!! And I feel so great that we can actually complete this thing... yeah!
