Making of a dome vault
Since ancient times, the dome crowning the construction was mainly used in religious buildings and was mainly used as an element of the design of temples, mosques, cathedrals and others built in Ukraine and other countries of the world.
What is a dome in architecture?
The definition of a dome is a hollow, flattened, or raised hemispherical roof structure, often stone, resting on a round, square, or polygonal base, which may be supported by columns or pillars transitioning to the dome through bends or overhangs.
How is the dome built?
Domes are not built using traditional construction methods, and this distinguishes them from such usual storage facilities as silos and flat storage facilities. Any dome project begins with a ring beam. This is exactly what it sounds like: a round beam of the same circle as the finished dome.

It was possible to order the production of domes even in the times of Ancient Greece and Rome. For example, the temple in Mycenae and the Roman Pantheon had vaults in the form of a dome. In the future, with the spread of Christianity and Islam, this construction, but in different variations, was an element of many cult structures.
In the modern world, domes do not have such a strict mission. They can decorate buildings of different types and purposes, but, of course, they give them a look of triumph and majesty. Experiments in the field of dome creation – production and further assembly – continue.
For example, today the so-called dome houses are becoming more and more popular – they have a rounded vault or are completely made in the shape of a hemisphere.
