Dome Roofs

A dome is a type of a roof structure that looks like a half of a sphere. People have been building domes for thousands and thousands of years. Think of the igloos built by the Inuit people, and the wigwams built by the Ojibwa. They, too, are domed structures. Igloos, wigwams and other indigenous structures, as well as geodesic domes, are examples of buildings which use a circular, domed shape, but have indistinct boundaries between the walls and the roof. One traditionally famous dome-shaped building was the Binishell.
