“I would like readers to help validate a part of my PhD research. In this phase, I created an online tool to design earthbag/SUPERADOBE volumetric domes. Please try it and fill the form about your experience.
The earthbag dome online calculator is available at Cicero.earth (Sound is very hard to hear.) I´d appreciate if you can share with your contacts. PS: It doesn’t work on cellphones, just computers.”

Thank you for your intersted, collaboration and dissemination! I’m glad to inform that we published the first tests results in an international conference. The paper is online, with open access.

Would love to know when this will be a downloadable app.
Looks like a great tool. Unfortunately I don’t build domes (yet) so this is quite far outside my wheelhouse. Exciting to see the advancements in earthbag building!
I tried this out and it is relatively simple to do once you figure out how the data entry works. The English explanation of how to do it and what the parameters mean is hard to understand, but there is obviously a lot of cleverness put into the project. She is especially interested in having people fill out the questionnaire after you have tried it because this is a thesis for your PHD.
