A dome is one of the most important parts of architecture as a science and as an art. The dome is what is used to close an open space and usually have striking shapes both outside and inside. The dome can end closed in the shape of a cone, onion, circular or triangular according to the artistic style to which reference is made. The construction and location of a dome is one of the most important moments in the building since it requires a lot of care and detail to be able to stay up and not succumb.
The dome is always a semicircle regardless of the way its upper part ends (whether it is pointed, rounded, etc.). The first domes or primitive forms of what we know today as domes used to always be made from a semicircle or semicircular arch. In this sense, it is always important in a dome the way in which the structure is going to stay upright without falling since being a semicircle it is not filled with material but is empty.
The domes have always been elements of great architectural embellishment not only inside but also outside. This is so since the domes are usually decorated in unique ways inside and on the outside they always have elements that make them stand out from the rest of the constructions. The domes, in addition, usually allow the passage of light through holes or windows, which is why the experience of the domes is always particular. At the same time, they allow the generation of unique spaces since the space in height that would otherwise be covered by material and concrete is opened up more.
