Domes of the World Map

[Paul Kranz]

All:

 

We have so many locations now (thank you, Taff!) that you may want to search for your dome before you ask Taff or me to put them in there: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&oe=UTF8&msa=0&msid=212647990607384677670.0004ad181506bbe39b599

 

1. Find the magnifying glass under the white-X-on-red close box at the upper right of your screen.

 

2. Drop down the menu by pressing the down arrow.

 

3. Select "Find on this Page..."

 

4. Enter part of the dome name in the find box..

 

If the dome is on the map, the cursor will jump to the name. If it is not there, let Taff or me know.

 

High regards,

 

Paul sends...

Paul,

I think your search recommendation is likely a browser feature, rather
than Google Maps.

My browser, Google Chrome, doesn't have the x-box to which you
referred. I can still search, but I use Chrome's <ctrl>F search
feature.

I second that, Taff, in Firefox I used Ctl-F to search for a name.  Is there an upper limit to how big the list can get?  So far so good.

Taff, can you create a short message with the map link as a permanent message at the top of the group page?  You currently have three permanent messages at the top.

Hey, Dondalah,

We think alike, again. I was waiting until the map was pretty-well populated. 

If I make a post into a "sticky" at the top, I didn't want a bunch of other topics thrown into the discussion (which happens rather frequently, here.)

I'll make a new sticky this afternoon.

One source says 1966, another 1978.

Thanks, Dick,

I've added the dome to our map:

http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=212647990607384677670.0004ad181506bbe39b599&msa=0&ll=45.360099,-75.803674&z=18

A good example of an elongated "lozenge" dome, with an arched-vault center section, between two half-domes:

[Dick Fischbeck]

Apparently, it was build by a company called Expo Dome. I can't find much on it. Built in 1967 OR 1976, depending.

I saw this one in a music video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XY2unm39iP8&t=2m50s

When I was looking up the name from the name on the ticket I also came
across a "Palacio de los Deportes" dome in the Dominican Rebublic

Unrelated, but I spotted a geodesic model briefly in another pop video
yesterday, it is only up for a fraction of a second

Looked promising, from the YouTube video. On Google Maps, it is evident that it is not icosa/dodeca/triacon, but is a lamella dome. (Added to our map, today.)

Eclectic taste in music, Adrian....

[TaffGoch]

FYI, the Santa Domingo "Palacio de los Deportes," and other athletic-complex surrounds, were built in 1974, for the XII Central American & Caribbean Games.

Hopefully this explains the different dome types.

Hi,

 

Geodesic cupolas on the TV tower in Brasil.

The tower, known as Flor do Cerrado, is a transmission site for television stations for the city of Brasilia and was designed by Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer.

Hi,

 

 

New candidate for the GD world map.

 

Here are two GDs at the Botanical Garden in the city Jibou, Romania.

 

The big dome called “THE VOLAR”,  shelters a rich collection of palm trees.

The small dome also called “AQUARIUM” accommodates species from the equatorial area.

 

They were built in the seventies. I visited them far far ago; btw Romania is my native country.

I, finally, located the Brasilia TV tower, and added to the map:

https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=212647990607384677670.0004ad181506bbe39b599&msa=0&ll=-15.699152,-47.829626&iwloc=0004cb198bf9f04a1196a&z=19

____________________

Google Maps coverage of Romania isn't yet high-resolution. The aerial photo quality is inadequate, to locate the Jibou botanical domes.

[TaffGoch]

"The Pods" are not showing up on Google Maps, since it's new construction.

It's supposed to be part of a "Central Park" rejuvenation. We'll have to wait until Google updates the aerial photography for Scunthorpe. (BTW, it's not hard to find Central Park.)

Here's the Central Park, in Scunthorpe, UK:

Dome spotting:

My grandfather was enamored with dome homes.  Hence they jump out at me.  

I don't know if you are including non-famous domes, but there is a person with

a fine looking dome-barn at  42.909865N, 70.873568W that I saw daily from 

I-95 in New Hampshire on my work commute (before changing jobs). It's visible

on Google maps satellite view for your verification.

Ian Robert Cooke

Do you know a name I can associate with the dome?

No name that I know of. Might be the the only dome in Hampton Falls,
NH. So, perhaps the "Hampton Falls Dome Barn"?

Best,

Yup, that's the one we're talking about. Do you know anything else
about it, Dick?

++ Ian

[Dick Fischbeck]

No, but I'll be looking for it next time I drive that way.

[Ian Cooke]

Easiest to spot it in late fall, winter, or early spring -- and when
you're not the driver :)

If one is aware of domes that are not already on the Domes of the World Map, how do you suggest we add them?

thx DxG

[Paul Kranz]

Dx G: Domes of the World has been around for about 15 years.  Taff and I are the only ones with permissions to add to it. So, if you know of a dome not in the map, you can just let me or Taff know. We need the coordinates and what you want it called. Paul sends...

Hi Paul & Taff,

Here are two side-by-side domes for possibly inclusion in Domes of the World:

Gratitude Farms, Northfield, Vermont, USA. 50-foot & 20-ft geodesic domes, 4v icosahedrons. Latitude & longitude:  44.1250747, -72.7415023

[Gerry in Quebec]

Hi Paul & Taff,

Just wondering whether you will be adding the two domes I mentioned, in Northfield, Vermont, USA, to the Domes of the World Map?
Thanks,

- Gerry in Québec

Gerry: I will be getting to them this night. Paul sends...
