OLLI Talks: Domes: A Defining Element in Architectural History (DRAKE HALL)

Domes have been a central aspect of thousands of buildings throughout human history. This class will examine examples of domed architecture throughout time to explore the technological, aesthetic, and cultural aspects of the dome and its prominent place in architectural history.
