'The Bucky Dome' : Former home of R. Buckminster Fuller
[Info] [GM] [BM] [YM]
By: kjfitz
@ 2010-03-25 10:00:04
R. Buckminster Fuller was a visionary who came up with the idea of the geodesic dome, or "autonomous dwelling unit." He was convinced it would become the Home of the Future. He built his first dome in 1949, and erected this one -- a 40-footer -- in 1960, then lived in it while he taught and lectured at Carbondale's Southern Illinois University. Bucky fans regard it as the most important dome in the U.S.

Geodesic domes were popular with techno-hippies. Big ones were used as the U.S. pavilion at Expo '67 in Montreal, and as "Spaceship Earth" at Epcot. But despite Bucky's personal charisma, geodesic dome homes never caught on, and in fact have remained so uncommon that this one is a tourist attraction.]]>

The Superior Dome

The Superior Dome, which opened as the world’s largest wooden dome on September 14, 1991, is a domed stadium on the campus of Northern Michigan University in Marquette, Michigan. It is home to the Northern Michigan Wildcats football team, as well as a variety of campus and community events. A nickname is the Yooper Dome.

The Dome stands 14 stories high and encompasses 5.1 acres (21,000 m²) under its roof. Constructed as a geodesic dome with 781 Douglas Fir Beams and 108.5 miles (175 km) of fir decking, the Dome has a permanent seating capacity of 8,000, though the building can hold as many as 16,000 people. The facility features a diameter of 163.4 m (536 feet), and has the ability to withstand 60 pounds force per square foot (2.87 kPa) of snow and 80 mile per hour (130 km/h) winds. These features are critical due to the extreme, unpredictable winter weather in Marquette, due to its location on the southern shore of Lake Superior in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.]]>

The Global Vipassana Pagoda is a notable monument in Mumbai, India. The pagoda is to serve as a monument of peace and harmony. This monument was inaugurated by Pratibha Patil, the President of India on February 8, 2009. It is located in the north of Mumbai in an area called Gorai and is built on donated land on a peninsula between Gorai creek and the Arabian Sea. The Global Vipassana Pagoda is built out of gratitude to the Buddha, his teaching and the community of monks practicing his teaching. Its traditional Burmese design is an expression of gratitude towards the country of Myanmar for preserving the practice of Vipassana. The shape of the pagoda is a copy of the Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon, Myanmar. It is being built combining ancient Indian and modern technology to enable it to last for a thousand years.]]>

Treasury of Atreus

@ 2010-02-04 09:48:00
The Treasury of Atreus or Tomb of Agamemnon is an impressive "tholos" tomb at Mycenae, Greece (on the Panagitsa Hill) constructed around 1250 BCE. The lintel stone above the doorway weighs 120 tons. The tomb was used for an unknown period of time. Mentioned by Pausanias, it was still visible in 1879 when the archeologist German Heinrich Schliemann discovered the shaft graves under the 'agora' in the Acropolis at Mycenae.

The tomb perhaps held the remains of the sovereign who completed the reconstruction of the fortress or one of his successors. The grave is in the style of the other tholoi of the Mycenaean World, of which there are nine in total around the citadel of Mycenae and five more in the Argolid. However, in its monumental shape and grandeur it is one of the most impressive monuments surviving from Mycenaean Greece.]]>

The Bloedel Floral Conservatory in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, is a conservatory and aviary located at the top of Queen Elizabeth Park. Located 500 feet (150 m) above sea level, the conservatory itself is 140 feet (43 m) in diameter, 70 feet (21 m) high. The triodetic dome (related to a geodesic dome) consists of 1,490 acrylic glass bubbles and is illuminated at night. Over 100 birds of various species reside within the dome and are allowed to fly free. The Bloedel Floral Conservatory is a lush tropical experience representative of about 500 species and varieties of plants from deep jungle to desert clime -- all housed within the dome.

The conservatory opened in 1969 and was constructed through a donation from Prentice Bloedel. That same donation was used to cover the water reservoir on top of Queen Elizabeth Park and to provide covered walkways, lighted fountains and art work.

The conservatory is home to Bougainvilleas and Browallias, citrus and coffee trees, Eucalypti and epiphytes, Euphorbia and various figs, Gardenia and Hibiscus. Magnolia trees share space with delicate lilies, yucca with pteris (ferns).]]>

The Paracel Islands (Chinese: 西沙群岛; Hanyu Pinyin: Xīshā Qúndǎo; Vietnamese: Quần đảo Hoàng Sa) are a group of small islands and reefs in the South China Sea and part of the South China Sea Islands, about one-third of the way from Vietnam to the Philippines. In 1932, French Indochina annexed the islands and set up a weather station on Pattle Island; maintenance was continued by its successor, Vietnam.

China has administered the Paracel Islands since 1974, when its troops seized a South Vietnamese garrison occupying the western islands. The islands are also claimed by Republic of China (Taiwan) and Vietnam. The Paracel Islands are surrounded by productive fishing grounds and by potential oil and gas reserves.]]>

Dome Village for the homeless
[Info] [GM] [BM] [YM]
By: kjfitz
@ 2007-04-05 15:43:34
Dome Village is a self-governing community of "people unable or [...] unwilling to live in traditional [homeless] shelters". Located in Downtown Los Angeles, the complex consists of 20 geodesic domes and is inhabited by "up to 34 individuals and their family members". Operated by Justiceville/Homeless USA, a non-profit organization, members of Dome Village are politically active in homelessness, nonviolence, and environmental issues.

Prior to becoming the Dome Village, the site was a shantytown inhabited by the homeless. In 1993, the village was founded by activist Ted Hayes. The village setting is intended to create stability for residents who live an otherwise-precarious existence.

The dwellings were designed by architect Craig Chamberlain, a former student of Buckminster Fuller. The domes, which cost about $10,000 each and are easy to repair and maintain, are made of polyester fiberglass. Funding for the village provided by Arco, a subsidiary of British Petroleum.

In late 2005, the inhabitants of Dome Village were threatened with eviction as the result of an increase to the property's rent. The owner of the property, Milton Sidley, was quoted as saying that he, a Democrat, was "was tired of helping Ted and the Dome Village." The announcement about the increase came shortly after a Los Angles Times article about an address Hayes delivered to the Bel-Air Republican Women's Club.

According to Hayes, "When I founded the Dome Village 12 years ago, we had an understanding that he could ask for his property back at any time for any reason, and I would say "absolutely" without hesitation." Accordingly he has "no intention of causing any trouble for this property owner", and "will not go to court". However, he admitted that he "cannot help but be saddened by the whole business. ...his reason was prejudice against Republicans."

On August 31, 2006, Hayes announced that the the residents of Dome Village were being evicted and that domes would be auctioned off online. Residents, who must be out by October 2006, will live in traditional homeless shelters. They hope to recreate Dome Village elsewhere in Los Angeles with the proceeds from the auction.]]>

MeeresWelten is a special exhibition of the German Oceanographic Museum and is located directly on the Baltic Sea in a ocean blue dome located on the harbour island of Stralsund.

In this exhibition visitors are invited to explore the unknown world of the deep sea by means of multi-media games and hands-on exhibits; in a playful way it is demonstrated how the ocean is threatened by overfishing. Different sections of the exhibition answer questions such as how a Tsunami develops, what is methane ice and which kind of swimming costume was chaste around 1900.

The Meteor City Trading Post is a souvenir shop on old Route 66. It opened in 1938. The building was replaced with this dome in 1979. There are also six teepees on the property. Meteor City , once known as Indian City, also has bragging rights to the world's longest map of Route 66 (100' long). The dome had been subject to several fires over the years and the map was covered with billboard advertising. The building, map, and teepees were restored in 2002 through the Hampton Inn Save-A-Landmark program. Meteor Crater, a popular tourist destination, is about six miles away.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/meteor-city-trading-post/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/meteor-city-trading-post/ Sat, 07 Oct 2006 01:50:22 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/meteor-city-trading-post/ 35.09396400 -110.93509200 <![CDATA[Gold Dome Multicultural Society]]>

St. Michael's is at the top of the funicular and also a short walk from St. Andrew's. Originally built by Prince Sviatopolk in 1108, this cathedral was destroyed by the Soviet regime in the mid-1930s in keeping with their anti-religion programme. Its reconstruction was championed by ambitious Kyiv mayor Oleksander Omelchenko and completed in May 2000. The sky blue exterior and glittering golden domes are certainly stunning, even though up close it all seems a bit too new and shiny for this ancient city. Another reminder, albeit a much smaller one, of the Communists' inhuman policies is to the right as you exit the church grounds. This monument to the millions of Ukrainian victims of the Great Famine mentions only the years it took place: 1932-1933. Farther out in the square, the statues of Princess Olha, Apostle Andriy, St. Cyrill and St. Methodius were also reconstructed in 1996.]]>

Cinerama Dome
[Info] [GM] [BM] [YM]
By: shunter
@ 2005-05-11 13:34:39
Located near the southwest corner of Sunset and Vine, the theatre is housed in a giant, white geodesic dome. (Buckminster Fuller would be proud.) Inside the 72 foot-high dome, the Cinerama is a circular auditorium featuring a huge, curving screen, seating for almost 1,000, somewhat spartan decor, an upstairs balcony, plush comfortable seats, and one of the best sound systems extant.

The Cinerama Dome is one of the few round movie theatres you will ever see. It was built in 1963 to present special "Cinerama" movies. Cinerama was a wide-screen format of the early 60's, which used three separate 35mm projectors and a vast curved screen to present realistic travelogues. It was a huge success at first, and hundreds of domed theatres were planned, but the wide-screen process proved too expensive, and the Cinerama movie fad soon faded from popularity.

The Cinerama Dome, however, remained. It now shows standard Hollywood blockbusters in standard modern film formats; nevertheless, this is still one of the best places in town to see a movie.

And it is also one of the most identifiable Hollywood landmarks. It's hard to miss the giant white dome at Sunset & Vine. (It's the only geodesic dome in the world built entirely of concrete - 316 interlocking concrete hexagons.)]]>

The Baton Rouge dome is among the most important because it was the world's first large industrial use of the geodesic concept.

From the outside, the design of the dome makes it seem smaller than it actually is. Its diameter is 384 feet, making it big enough to house a baseball field. It's 125 feet high, weighs 620 tons and is 110,000 square feet. Each of the 321 welded steel hexagons weighs roughly 2 tons.

Inside the dome is another dome, and the second one surrounds a control tower that is 80 feet high. The second dome, once covered with glass, served no purpose.

The building has changed hands and now is owned by KCS Rail.]]>
