The Chinese Rotunda at the Penn Museum has one of the world’s largest, unsupported masonry domes. That means there are no steel or supporting trusses within the dome to hold it up. The weight of the dome is carried by the eight arches that encircle the rotunda, and by the natural forces of compression, tension, gravity, and the normal force. The design of the Museum’s dome was based on the design of a much older and larger dome called the Pantheon, an ancient Roman temple. Look carefully at the apex of both of these domes. The apex is the highest point of the dome. The opening located at the apex is called an oculus. Oculus means eye in Latin. The oculus is not only a way to bring light into a domed structure, but it also lightens the weight of the roof. 1 Math of Domes Above, the Chinese Rotunda at the Penn Museum.
