INTERIOR LAYOUT 6 2.2 There will be a total of 10 domes which will have a population of 2050 each. Each dome will accommodate residential, commercial and agricultural uses. Each dome will be divided into two sectors to separate the residential area, with each sector housing a population of 1025. Windows will be built for the provision of natural settlement in each dome.

The joining mechanism of modular trusses of domes has connecting trusses with jaws which interlock linearly. To hold it in a straightened position , the compression collar secures the joint in place by clasping the interlocked jaws. This mechanism enables 360° mobility of the trusses.
