New York-based studio Dror has developed a dome concept in celebration of the upcoming 50th anniversary of Expo 67 which took place in Montréal, Canada, back in 1967. The dynamic structure was derived after a tour of the island with the Buckminster Fuller institute to initiate a discussion around reinvigorating seasonally-used grounds.

The scheme would serve as enchanting cultural space that embraces the biosphere created by architect Buckminster Fuller. Envisioned to be sited on an open area of parc jean-drapeau, the structure would be draped in a planted canopy – providing a place for reflection and gathering. Presenting a hybrid framework for nature and technology, the 150-meter-wide aluminum dome, with its vegetated sound buffer, offers a backdrop for diverse events all year-round.

Largely influenced by Fuller, studio founder Dror Benshetrit suggests that the dome provides a companion to the American architect’s Lonesome structure, originally built as the united states pavilion for expo 67. ‘Interacting like the sun and the moon, our concept engages in a poetic dance with Fuller’s design, realizing the park’s potential in a contemporary context,’ he explains.
