I vote for geodesic dome.
Also, you could have lava trickling over the glass making like a X shape when looked at from above and providing light for the town. Or just cover the dome with lava to prevent intruders from getting in.

New wall has to be round, which was a curveball we weren't expecting..

to make a wall that is 1/3 glass like our current one, and a glass roof, we will need 40 thousand sand roughly. that is 625 or so stacks, so get farming sand, we'd go broke if we tried to buy all that

I suppose we could pay people to mine, how much should I pay somebody to mine sand for an hour

haha I don't think we'll have a problem with finding enough cobble if we need it.
Also kperk, we could reduce the number of glass needed if we use panes along the straight parts

i have been gearing up to farm sand.. was working on other delcious things this am... 
woot once i get on tonite i plan on making chests and start farming sand, and i say we leave old wall up as deterant... and make a new bigger wall. i could use some sticks and spare iron bars for my shovels of doom..... i can make chests .. we need processing facilities in town.. somewhere.

Ok everyone ---- I have spent a LOT of time on measurements, coordinate-checking, etc. etc. etc. and I actually built a scale model (to the pixel) of the town outer ring and the location of the current wall and my proposed new wall.
I have come up with a design that I think meets all our needs: It is far enough inside region to avoid pillars to get over, yet still attempts to maximize the usable space of the town, and shouldn't be too difficult to build (relatively speaking). The wall is not a circle, but actually a hexadecagon if you wanna get technical (it has 16 sides). The benefit of this design is that it will have 4 large flat sides at the N, S, E, and W exits, and will look much nicer than trying to do a circle.
So.....I have gone all the way around town and set down a foundation for the new wall using stone brick at sea level to indicate where the wall will be. Now that I know EXACTLY where the wall will be, we don't have to keep terraforming around the gravel (we can do that after wall is up). Before you go building though, kperk and I are working on some designs for the wall that will balance aesthetics with practicality. We are currently thinking of having stone brick pillars at the edges of the hexadecagon, and having some kind of glass mixture on the sides to let in light.
Anyway, hopefully I've explained this well, but if you see me on just ask me questions about what's going on. Regardless of the final design, we are gonna need LOTS and LOTS of glass, so sand is a must right now. There are a bunch of chests in my old house plot by the requiem gate if you have sand/glass/coal to donate.
I'm almost done with the foundation, and then I'll be laying a few starter levels that can simply be duplicated on upward. There are various other things that need to be done as well.
For example, on the east side, we need to go UNDER my foundation and go down as far as possible with stone brick to bring the wall down so people can't get under it. Right now they can just swim right under. We also need to close up any tunnels or openings that were once outside the town region but now would let people inside.
I'll continue to update....
Thanks!

Oh ok, hehe. That's cool - I thought you were trying to correct me and I was confused, haha.
Another note....if you build a tower to get over wall, up to ring, on top of wall, etc., make sure to tear it down. Before the city expansion it was easy to get over the wall, even with the glass design inward at top, because people left steps there to get up and over it.
