====== Sphaerae ======

Sphaerae is the name of an inflatable design. A set of bubbles where people can meet in various circumstances.
Sphaerae can be a setting for an surround audiovisual experience, a greenhouse for sprouts, a climate-controlled room for growing mushrooms,
a playgarden, diningroom for chocolate lovers, a space for contemplating, etc etc. The biggest space is for surround screening, therefor a cloth (inside white/outside black) can be put over on the outside bubble segment.\\
Medio march 2012 we want to have realized the design.

a way of anchoring\\

the bubbles of dumas come close, but its easthetically not what we really want.\\

an old drawing i had, where the inflatable in anchored by sand inside and plnats can grow on that.

Where 3 bubbles collide, they meet at an angle of 120 degrees.\\

a net structures can be put over a dome for anchoring....

Clay model of Shaerae: a set of 5 bubbles, the entrance is through a self-closing corridor through the upper two smaller bubbles.\\
Bubbles meet each other by a semitransparant dividing membrane with a split(door). People can walk from chamber to chamber. The under cloth is white, and the upperlayers will be white-translucent.
When projection from inside is required a cloth (inside white/outside black) can be pulled over the top on the outside  and attached to the white underpart.
Idealy the total lenght of Shpaerae is about 12 meters and the highest point is about 3,5 meters.

====== programme of wishes: ======

cloth:
  * cloth with no smell
  * fireresistent cloth: certificate norm: nen 2 (for the netherlands), B1(German), M2 (French), B (European)
  All this business is very lucrative. (in 10 or 15 secs the burningspot should not spread itself) When its rainy weather, the fireresistance stuff does not work anyhow. You can check your samples at Bolderdijk, Amsterdam. These people are the advisers for the firebrigade. Event organisers ask for permission at the firebrigade. If its proven right in one city, in the other it might be not.
  * translucent  quality
  * tear-resistance strong
  * reparable
  * cleanable
  * lightweight, portable
  * should feel like skin like PU or TPU

* include escape possibilities
  * aerodynamic in its form (e.g. in the Netherlands winds often come from the west)
  * windresistable, good anchorage with guy-ropes (scheerlijnen) and tentpegs digged with its top just under the ground, so one can't fall over it. How does one anchore it when Shaerae is placed on stones?
  * a good airlock

* siver or black shaped cloth  - attachable on the outside, for projection screenings

collaboration with Smartchitecture Joeri and Yannick - Creative Collective:
www.smartchitecture.nl (Delft) for creating a 3d rhino model:

Voor de volgende stappen is het belangrijk voor ons om de volgende dingen te weten:

-aanlever specificaties van de producent:
*wat voor 3d model? 
*gemaakt met welk programma?
*moeten de ribben/lassen/naden in het model staan, bijvoorbeeld door middel van edges? of doen zij een voorstel op basis van een indicatie die wij geven?
*moeten er zelfs patronen gemaakt worden?

-garanties
*is er op voorhand informatie te vinden over garaties op gebied van brandveiligheid etc?
*wie staat hier namens de maker voor garant? is dit misschien degene die het object huurt?

-budget
* wat is het totale (bouw) budget(zonder vergoeding ontwerp etc.)? dit ivm met onderzoekjes die wij binnen ons netwerk doen naar mogelijke bouwers

Op basis hiervan en jullie eerste gemaatvoerde schets (indicatie van de schaal) kunnen wij een voorstel doen en vooral aan de slag!!!!

sizes:

* hoogte max ongeveer 3,5 meter
  * small igloo size entrance works best.

====== possible producers ======

* Koch, Germany
  * Aircreation, Arnhem
  * Sidijk, Friesland
  * Airprob - Nijmegen, alleen schets aanleveren, aardige kerel zei Theo...op bezoek gaan. Heeft oa Theo's luchtship gemaakt in de jaren 70 en de ING Leeuw.
