SECTION 1
DOME
A dome is a convex roof.
Domes are categorized according of the shape of both the base
and the section through the center of the dome.
The base may be circular, square or polygonal (many-sided),
depending on the plan of the drum (the walls on which the
dome rests).
The section of a dome may be the same shape as any arch.
