Answer to Question 1

The dome is an architectural structure in the shape of a hemisphere. The Pantheon has a perfect hemispherical dome, resting on a cylinder almost the same diameter, and covers the entire round structure. The interior ceiling is coffered, and there is an exterior opening in the center of the dome that allows for illumination of the building. The Taj Mahal has a tall drum crowned by a pointed dome and is mostly ornamental. The dome is centered over the central part of the structure and sits on the roof of the building.

Answer to Question 2

Responses will vary based on the selection of examples. Possible choices are Frank Lloyd Wright, F. Buckminster Fuller, Zaha Hadid, Moshe Safdie, and Frank Gehry.
