Recent Brandon University Applied Disaster and Emergency Studies graduate, Jennifer Brinkworth, has built an “Eco-Dome” as part of her practicum project at the Riverbank Discovery Centre. An Eco-Dome is a dome-shaped shelter or home built out of soil-cement or lime stabilized earth. These dome-shaped homes have generated a lot of interest in disaster and emergency management as they have proven themselves to be earthquake, flood, fire and hurricane sustainable. This Eco-Dome was the first of its kind built in Canada and will remain at the Riverbank Discovery Centre for two years. For more information, please email adesATbrandonu.ca.

Love the bag dome.. Have you rendered it yet?
I look forward to seeing how your project develops. Please send us an update when there’s a dome completed and we’ll gladly do a post about it.
I don’t know any further details on the eco-dome emergency shelter project.
