Thank you everyone for your continuing support and input. I have cleaned up the proposal, adding in more info RE: the process, steps to completion, current status, more references, a few images for clarification of concept etc. I also included more info on the expected performance of the new hempcrete mix I intend to produce. I also took your suggestion to drift away from the pyramidal construction for this proposal. Although there are numerous very interesting benefits to the geometry of a pyramid, energetically and otherwise, it isn't necessarily that relevant to the climate control aims of this contest. So I appreciate you bringing this to my attention. Thank you judges for your time in evaluating and providing feedback for my proposal, it was very helpful in refining this project. I did my best to explain the aspects that were asked about the most, such as the method of construction using smaller 3d printers to create smaller segments to be assembled on site. If there are any further questions or comments, please let me know and I will take them under advisement! Thank you, I look forward to your feedback! Chad K.
