Gaiaspace Domes

 

Gaiaspace Structures has been designing and manufacturing Geodesic Domes since 1995. The original GaiaDome1 series domes measure 12 metres in diameter and have frames made from wood. Our latest structures, the GaiaDome3 series, are made from aluminium and are available in a number of sizes, ranging from 10 metres to 25 metres in diameter. We also design and manufacture a number of complimentary systems, including the GaiaPod covered stages.

A number of our domes are also available for rent, via our sister company, GaiaNova Productions. As well as basic dome hire and onsite assembly, GaiaNova can provide additional complimentary services as necessary, such as flooring, heating, lighting, sound systems and video projection soloutions. For information on dome availability and bookings, please contact GaiaNova Productions on the office number above, or visit their website and complete the online event enquiry form.

 

The Gaiaspace Domes
The Gaiaspace dome designs allow for immediate headroom when entering the space with internal capacities from around 400 to over 1000 people.The load-bearing nature of these geodesic structures permit a multitude of rigging arrangements, allowing for a versatile range of and staging configurations. With no need for guys or stakes, they can be used indoors or out, on any hard, reasonably level ground.

All our domes are built to order and can be supplied with a wide range of all weather coverings, which can include surround projection screens, black-out material, windows, or tailor made panels or covers featuring colours and images of your own choice.

Used for theatre in the round, circus, corporate events and product launches, exclusive weddings, surround cinema, as an intimate music stage, a café or bar, workshop space or simply for those events that require something more than a marquee, the dome’s solid yet airy cathedral-like space is ideal.

The GaiaDome1 is made from fully weather and fire treated Canadian pine and comprises of hubs and struts connected to one another in a ‘3 phase’ geodesic arrangement. This 12m diameter by 8m high dome, has an internal capacity of 400.

 

The GaiaDome2 is made from high grade aluminium (5083-0) and comprises of hubs and struts connected to one another in a ‘3 phase’ geodesic arrangement. This 16m diameter by 9.5m high dome, has an internal capacity of 1000.

The GaiaDome3 is our latest series, measuring between 10 and 25 metres in diameter. The 18m model shown here is 10.7 metres high and has an internal area of 250 square metres.

 

 

Surround Video Projection Rig
We have developed a range of video projection rigs that enable the user to project images over the surface of our domes.
These range from basic packages that can project single images on five separate screens at once, right the way through to extensive light shows and being able to project different multiple images on any number of screens within the space.

 

Gaiaspace Multi-Domes and Tunnels
Both domes can be linked via tunnelled walkways in almost any configuration, allowing them to be adjoined to other permanent venues or other structures - including other domes.


Emergency Lighting and Disabled Access

Both domes can come complete with emergency exit lights, disabled access ramps and 13/16amp cable loom around their circumference.

Health and Safety
We supply a full risk assessment and health and safety report for each job as required and comply with individual event licensing and public liability insurance needs.

Gaiaspace Dome Design
Conceived by R.Buckminster Fuller, a geodesic dome is a sphere-like structure composed of a complex network of triangles. The triangles create a self-bracing framework, which gives structural strength while using a minimum of material. The term geodesic is from Latin, meaning earth dividing. A geodesic line is the shortest distance between any two points on a sphere. Inspired by the pioneering work of R. Buckminster Fuller, our Gaiaspace Domes have been designed and built through a continual process of evolution and refinement, reflecting the diverse range of people who have come together to work under the umbrella of Gaiaspace.

Gaiaspace Productions welcomes dome commissions and the exchange and collaboration of ideas for the design and construction of new domes. For further details contact newdomes @ gaiaspace . co . uk
