The Revitalising Dome by Hanna Furey is a student architecture project about ecological repair, thermal testing and sustainable precedent research.
Set around the damaged peaks of Mont Toc in the Dolomites, the project proposes a dome that creates a controlled ecological niche where scientists can study and monitor natural systems.
The project idea
The dome is not just an image of future sustainability. It is a research environment. Hanna tested the typology through thermal experiments as part of a thesis exploring the right precedent for designing sustainably.
That makes the project useful for students because it links environmental ambition to design testing. The ecological idea, the form and the research method all support each other.
What the showcase tells us
- Hanna is a Part II Architectural Assistant.
- She has worked for a year in an architecture firm in Morocco.
- The project focuses on Mont Toc in the Dolomites.
- The dome creates an enclosed environment for ecological study.
- Thermal testing informed the sustainable design approach.
Biodome project checklist
If you are presenting a project like this, make the research evidence easy to understand.
- What environmental problem is the project responding to?
- Why is the dome typology suitable?
- What testing or research shaped the proposal?
- How does the architecture support learning from nature?
Architecture Social view
Stephen’s recruiter view is that sustainability projects need a clear technical story. If the portfolio can show the test, the reason and the design result, the work feels much more credible.
Share your sustainable project
If your student project explores climate, ecology, repair or sustainable design testing, Architecture Social Showcase can help present it to the right audience.
- Explain the environmental question.
- Show the design method and evidence.
- Make the project useful for students, tutors and practice readers.
- Keep the public copy clear and project-led.
