This is interesting. This would induce "gravity", but the exposure to 
the sun would not be as good since the domes would all face inwards.

Not sure if I understand. You mean at right angles with respect to each 
other? I think Le_Forgeron has a better idea in this case.

Except that I think both of you misunderstand. The *entire* station does 
not rotate around the central axis. Just the inner shell (currently 
colored blue) rotates. The outer shell remains fixed. I don't have a 
good explanation why I chose to do it this way.

Anyway, I've attached my latest design. The panels and domes are no 
longer blocking each other. But I think it is ugly. :(

What do you think?
