Below: A
natural geodesic dome model which accentuates some intrinsic patterns.
The star shapes have been adapted as window openings, in blue.
\
Next are engraved designs as housing
framework. This entails projecting patterns of your choice on to a high resolution
CAD dome and generating a line of intersection. This line of intersection becomes
the new tessellated surface and framework.
More dome visualization featuring elliptical skylights and
stone use ideas.
Compressed renderings, and formZ modeling
by Bo Atkinson.
Computer rendering here combines
transparent, wireframe and solid surfaces just for experimental
effect.
To Left: Kitchen sink and counter built
integrally together, using ferrocement. (1978).
Small,
minimalist but sculptural dome concept.
Ringforcement:A synergy of ferocement, concrete, masonry and
curved construction.

integrated searching of art, science and philosophy, all together.
Enersearch is a very small nonprofit
organization, founded in 1980, in Maine, USA. A wide range of
projects are synergistically studied as an alternative approach
to the usual method of specialization. Enersearch is now in the
slow process of publishing it's works on the www. This will consist
of transcribing hand drawn sketches and notebook data from the
1980's to the more recent CAD renderings dating from the 90's.
These works address particular technologies with a synergistic,
generalist approach.
