Also that he used a chaine to suport the weight. We also learned that both shells of the dome were build simultaneously--> But I dont't get it why this is so special? Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
What was so 'special' was that many builders had their efforts cave in on them because a dome needs to have support during fabrication, which is gained with scaffolding, braces, and other temporary supports. |
