 +Clay model of Shaerae: a set of 5 bubbles, the entrance is through a self-closing corridor through the upper two smaller bubbles.\\
 +Bubbles meet each other by a semitransparant dividing membrane with a split(door). People can walk from chamber to chamber. The under cloth is white, and the upperlayers will be white-translucent.
 +When projection from inside is required a cloth (inside white/outside black) can be pulled over the top on the outside  and attached to the white underpart.
 +Idealy the total lenght of Sphaerae is about 12 meters and the highest point is 4,25 meters.
