you're using an 'optimal' structure in a non-optimal way. this is really confusing/defeats the purpose of your interest in these forms in the first place.

is that a box truss holding the secondary triangulation up? why do you need that? i'm confused about general over-structuredness of it all.

also, that project you showed me before used big, boxey forms (good for strong structure), that created differently shaped & sized spaces. all of these spaces appear to be the same...

is that water coming in? the blue part?

well i dont know what else to do! im not getting feedback from anyone and i need a building by tues for my proposal. the main space is a basic dome spaceframe structure. the smaller dome spaces are forming the canopy of the market. i have been playing with different ways to frame the canopy and am using a take of the sphere as well as ribs of a boat... i would like them to be gluelam beams. i need some non-arbitrary way to enclose these ribs and gave up on trying to loft something over them and thought maybe they could still be some kind of tensegrity structure thats hanging down so that they aren't rigid. the blue might be part of the terrain? its just a quick screen shot.. its not clear in this section but these forms would be sitting on the heavy boxey structure. so you would have this contrast of the heavy rigid structure and the light and elasticity of the top canopies.

i honestly don't know what to say. i feel like i forgot architecture.

just make it a runway show for Viktor + Rolf. the models could walk on the domes and then jump into the water. done.
