Pix of Montreal Biosphere, June 2011

[Gerry Toomey]

A few months back my friend John and I visited Fuller & Sadao's Expo '67 dome in Montreal. It's on an island in the St. Lawrence River. The open-air dome encloses an ecology museum called the Biosphere, owned and operated the Canadian Ministry of the Environment.

 

Here's a dozen photos courtesy of John. I asked him to take some pix highlighting the geometry close up since so many stock shots of the dome are panoramic views with little detail.

 

Cheers,

Hi Gerry,

Excellent, clear photographs.  One of them had a clear pentagon visible.  I've never seen a photo of Biosphere with two pentagons in it.  Do you have one of those that you didn't include in the twelve attachments?

Yup, that matches the architect's drawing:  class 1 frequency 16 icosahedron

Thanks, Taff.... Sorry, Dondalah. No, I couldn't find one with two
pents in the photo set I have.
