Good question. I would first suggest to avoid the typical cliche that are sky hooks. Too common and overdone to no end. You'll certainly not get invited onto your studio prof's yacht.
To be ahead of the curve and literally make waves across all planes of studio realities, best to investigate the inner workings of hover piles and, moreover, how their spatial arrangement play with the sensation of floating while still seemingly remain grounded; certainly through the magic of magnets, but that for you to research.
Please don't forget to include me in your Nobel prize acceptance speech.

Put the bubble on a reflecting pool so the dome appears to be a full sphere from those who observe from outside. This is a great optical illusion.
For the bubble structure, I'd look into 1 molecule thick silica shell spun (woven?) by millennial indigo children.
So happy that SNL is in a better place where skits are funny again. Good luck.

Great project Olaf. First, you will need a renewable resource. I'm thinking that there will be a plentiful supply of millennial tears. By collecting tears and distilling them down in modified micro breweries your will be left with a sodium solution thick enough to pump through a 3D printer and create a salty geodesic shell which would be sustainable while symbolically representing lost hopes and dreams...

Please don't just throw everyone into the same liberal bucket.
There are certainly pro-cesoriship liberals out there, like Arthur Chu, for example, who have a very broad definition of what constitutes harassment.
But there are many people on the left who do not agree with him and people like him.

Nov 21, 16 2:02 pm
I'm not throwing anyone into any bucket. I'm simply asking a question and presenting an article I find disturbing. According to that article 40% are in that bucket. It's incredible to me that so few millennials understand the concept of constitutional liberties, and how all of the civil rights that they claim to cherish are rooted in the legal expansion and realization of such liberties.... My generation grew up with a healthy mistrust of govt...it's a strange thing to see this generation so trusting of govt. almost asking govt to guard their feelings in some Orwellian dystopia.

I said you weren't funny, sorry my roundabout way of saying so led you to assume facts not in evidence. The assumptions are all yours, though. You're not someone I believe would add any value to a conversation, so my stances on topics other than your lack of comedic skills will not be forthcoming.

jla-x,
While I don't agree with the pro-censorship impulse and I find it to be over-controlling, I think that I understand why the idea appeals to people. It starts with harassment, particularly harassment of women, in the form of threats of violence, and stalking, or the publishing of personal information like telephone numbers and addresses. From there, some people expand the definition of harassment to mean nearly anything that is offensive or rude. Some extend their complaint even further to include stupid comments, false information, off-topic/disruptive comments. Many young people see no value in the dysfunctional and abusive mess that is most of the discourse online. Look at how many people read Archinect but never participate in the comments. Comment sections are broadly considered to be "dumpster fires" of communication. And so, many people opt out of the nastiness and the flamethowing, and they wish that someone would moderate online forums with a heavier hand. Friends of mine have asked me why I bother posting comments on here. They've called you all the 4chan of Architecture. Thats the context that we exist in.

this article is about building a dome over brooklyn.
why are you trying to build a world-view around "facts" such as sneakypete's age and location, when you have no idea what his age and location is? personally, i don't think censorship will solve this problem. it's this dissemination of obviously false claims. you gather the false claims that reinforce your already broken world-view and discard the false claims that reject your already broken world-view. instead of maintaining thoughtful opinions and practicing the ability to rationalize what's going on in your environment, you've built a figurative bubble around your intellectual process that prevents new information from altering your preconceived biases.
the video is talking about a literal manifestation of your bubble. it's interesting, because as architects it seems like a challenging design problem.
it would probably look something like this (except east coast instead of west)

What false claims?
You are in this mainstream bubble where only information filtered through CNN seems real to you. Your bubble is so dense and narrowly focused. A concrete dome with an oculus spilling in television light from MSM would be most appropriate to describe your bubble in architectural terms...The tectonic similarity to religious architecture is actually very apt.

Oh, I agree that he will likely make it worse. Again, you're implying that my critique of the dems is an endorsement of the repubs. That's a fallacy. The reason I brought up GMOs in a discussion about bubbles is that there are real dangers and consequences for being trapped in any political parties bubble. team loyalty can blind the truth and lead to overall complacency towards injustice. For instance, not many people have protested obamas aggressive drone program. In just 8 years many liberals went from being anti war and non-interventionist to whatever and pro-interventionist...That's dangerous when a large populations moral compass can be so easily spun by nothing but charisma and charm. I voted for Obama both terms. He was overall a pretty good President, and I think he probably did an excellent job in some areas, but his nice smile seemed to cancel our ability to notice his itchy trigger finger that led to much blood shed and further destabilization in the World. Yes, bush started it, but he continued/expanded many of bushes errors.

I'm pointing out the genuinely frightening possible consequences of dismantling the government, something Trump has been UNABASHED about supporting. Voting for HRC may not have been morally or ethically sound, but for fuck's sake, it was the only reasonable tactical position to take. Congrats on having the right genetics to feel safe voting third party which enabled a Trump presidency. I likely have similar genetics, but I somehow fail to feel safe.

Or the bubble can be made of melted down recycled cracked iphone glass poured over a formwork that was made of 88,444 people of all race, color, and creed creating a human scaffolding like cheerleaders do but in a dome shape whereas the uppermost persons would be holding their hands skyward to form the surface on which the glass would be poured which would forever cast the actual fingerprints (I'm talking about real flesh burned into the glass, not an imprint left behind) of those who helped build it and thus carry the scars making them somewhat of a celebrity, creating a beautiful rippled appearance that obscures inside to outside views and vice versa.
