Consider the Taj Mahal and the Pantheon. Both of these buildings feature dome construction. Discuss the differences in appearance and styles of the dome

What will be an ideal response?

The dome is an architectural structure in the shape of a hemisphere. The Pantheon has a perfect hemispherical dome, resting on a cylinder almost the same diameter, and covers the entire round structure. The interior ceiling is coffered, and there is an exterior opening in the center of the dome that allows for illumination of the building. The Taj Mahal has a tall drum crowned by a pointed dome and is mostly ornamental. The dome is centered over the central part of the structure and sits on the roof of the building.
