With a maximum capacity of 50,000 in its football configuration, the venue would be the first multi-purpose domed stadium, complete with air-conditioning to withstand the brutal Texas heat.

The setting sun casts long shadows from visitors looking out toward the rooftop of Renzo Piano’s Resnick Pavilion and, off in the distance on the left, the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures’ domed terrace.

On Wednesday evening, under the domed ceiling of Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel, 133 cardinals will vote to elect the Catholic Church's 267th pope.

It showed up at church potlucks under domed foil lids, in school lunch trays beside pools of canned peaches, and on our weeknight table with unfussy regularity.
