Dome structure
A dome structure is a rounded, roof-like shape often used in buildings. It distributes weight evenly across its surface, allowing for larger, open interior spaces without the need for many supporting columns. Domes can be made from various materials, such as concrete, wood, or metal, and they are common in places like churches, government buildings, and sports stadiums. Famous examples include the Pantheon in Rome and the U.S. Capitol. The design not only provides aesthetic beauty but also enhances stability and can improve energy efficiency by reducing the volume of space that needs to be heated or cooled.
