SUMMARY:Big Dome\, Bigger Dreams: Visions for Harris County Domed Stadium
DESCRIPTION:Architecture Center Houston is proud to announce its upcoming exhibition\, Big Dome\, Bigger Dreams: Visions for Harris County Domed Stadium\, opening Thursday\, October 22\, 5:30-7:30pm. \nWhat happens to a wonder when the world moves on? \nIt started as an audacious idea. Create the world’s first fully enclosed and air-conditioned sports stadium in a city known for punishing heat and humidity. \nTurning that idea into reality required vision\, experimentation\, and persistence. Architects and engineers turned that idea into reality through vision\, experimentation\, and persistence\, pushing past existing limits to create a structure unlike anything the world had seen. Its revolutionary roof\, animated scoreboard\, and newly developed “indoor grass” called AstroTurf helped redefine architecture\, engineering\, and entertainment. \nThe Astrodome also redefined what a stadium could mean to a city. \nDuring its life\, the Astrodome became more than a building. Mickey Mantle played beneath its roof. Billie Jean King made history there. Presidents\, performers\, and daredevils filled its seats. Decades later\, thousands sought refuge there after Hurricane Katrina. \nToday\, the Astrodome stands silent. \nCome explore the ambition\, innovation\, and cultural moments that made the Dome an icon. Then decide for yourself: What should come next? \nBig Dome\, Bigger Dreams: Visions for Harris County Domed Stadium \nEvent is free and open to the community. \n\nExhibition Sponsors and Community Partners \nBig Dome\, Bigger Dreams: Visions for Harris County Domed Stadium is funded in part by the City of Houston through Houston Arts Alliance; Innovative Environments; WSP; Hoar Construction; I. A. Naman + Associates\, Inc.; DLR Group \n \n
