Architectural Beauty at Chicago's 1933 World's Fair

Item # 2325108

<p>Architectural Beauty at Chicago's 1933 World's Fair. Chicago, Illinois: Larger than the dome of St. Peter's or the Washington Capitol, this sky-hung dome of the Travel and Transport Building strikes a new note in architecture at Chicago's 1933 Century of Progress Exposition. The roof is formed of metal plates suspended by steel cables hung from a circle of twelve steel towers and anchored by huge slabs of concrete. It is the first application on any significant scale to architecture of the principle of the suspension bridge. The dome is 125 feet high and 200 feet across, without a single arch, pillar, beam, or other support to break its expanse. It is said to be the largest unobstructed area to be enclosed beneath a roof. Expansion joints permit the plates which form the roof to slide over each other, as changes in temperature, wind velocity, rain, or snow load</p>
