The Pantheon in Rome is a breathtaking space! At 2,000 years old, it’s also the world’s largest unreinforced concrete dome! So how has it lasted so long?
I’ll show you around the Pantheon, explain how domes work (and how much the Pantheon is a full structural dome), and Linda Seymour provides detail on Roman concrete. Linda did her PhD at MIT on ancient Roman concrete and we both work at SGH in Boston so it’s great to have her be part of this!
I'm Paul Kassabian. I'm a structural engineer and a Principal at SGH in Boston, MA. I taught graduate students at MIT for nine years, Harvard's Graduate School of Design (GSD) for five years and am currently teaching at RISD (Fall 2023). These are videos based on my structural design projects and years of teaching structures to students.
MUSIC:
Note: I chose music with instruments that existed in Roman times (harp and voice)
