Rodeo Drive Dome
Project
The Rodeo Drive FRP dome was fabricated by pendulum carving a foam segment mold, fabricating multiple FRP segments, and assembling the pieces into two-quarter spheres. Internal-facing assembly flanges allow for transportation and simple on-site assembly. The segments were transported to the mosaic artist Peter Veres’ Studio, where he applied Venetian glass tiles to create the spiral pattern. The two-quarter spheres were bolted together and then lifted onto the building in Beverly Hills, CA.
