Radius of Tree Canopy
The radius of Tree Canopy is used to inform the size of the dome, which will create the enclosed habitat for the possums.
2
Punctuations were created within the domes such that the original tree positions will be retained and its growth not obstructed by the structure.
3
Large tubular structures were added to ensure structural integrity.
4
The dome panels will be made of combination of glass panels and steel mesh, that is held together by a steel lattice structure.
