This geodesic dome was built for the United States pavillion at Expo '67, the world's fair in Montréal, Canada. Geodesic domes have no internal supports, which makes them ideal structures for holding large groups of people. They are made up of standardized, interlocking shapes that can be assembled and taken apart quickly.
