They are found in Persian, Hellenistic, Roman, and Chinese architecture in the Ancient world, as well as among a number of contemporary indigenous building traditions. Dome structures were popular in Byzantine and medieval Islamic architecture, and there are numerous examples from Western Europe in the Middle Ages. The Renaissance architectural style spread from Italy in the Early modern period. Advancements in mathematics, materials, and production techniques since that time resulted in new dome types. The domes of the modern world can be found over religious buildings, legislative chambers, sports stadiums, and a variety of functional structures.&#8211;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dome\">Wikipedia<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9539\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9539\" style=\"width: 1028px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/billemory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/180616-rotunda-blue-tarp.jpg\" alt=\"Rotunda, Homer, blue tarp\" width=\"1028\" height=\"771\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9539\" srcset=\"https:\/\/billemory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/180616-rotunda-blue-tarp.jpg 1028w, https:\/\/billemory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/180616-rotunda-blue-tarp-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/billemory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/180616-rotunda-blue-tarp-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/billemory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/180616-rotunda-blue-tarp-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9539\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">with the color&#8230;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[6,32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9538","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-architecture","category-charlottesville"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/billemory.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9538"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/billemory.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/billemory.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/billemory.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/billemory.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9538"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/billemory.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9538\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9541,"href":"https:\/\/billemory.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9538\/revisions\/9541"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/billemory.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9538"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/billemory.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9538"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/billemory.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9538"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
