[papercreters] Dome Construction

Hi papercreters,

I'm fairly new to the list, and I'm wondering if anyone has any experience constructing domes and/or vaults unsupported. I have the book Ceramic Houses and Earth Architecture by Nader Khalili, and have read on livinginpaper.com that the techniques he describes in his book work very well for papercrete. So I'm just wondering if anyone has had any practical, hands-on experience with this method. My husband and I are going to begin work on a papercrete house in Southern New Mexico later this year, and have been researching for awhile now, but first-hand experience is always good to learn from. Thanks for any words of wisdom :)
