Scope and Content

Cette sous-série porte sur le travail de documentation photographique de Robert Duchesnay du dôme géodésique Climatron dome à St. Louis, Missouri, aux États-Unis. Conçu en 1960 par les architectes Murphy et Mackey de St. Louis en utilisant le système conçu par Buckminter Fuller, il abrite la serre et le pavillon principal du Missouri Botanical Garden. Le Climatron est la première serre complètement climatisée au monde. Son diamètre est de 175 pieds. Le pavillon sera fermé en 1988 pour un vaste projet de rénovations qui dureront jusqu'en 1990. Le bâtiment est toujours en activité.

La sous-série contient cinq photographies, de l'extérieur et de l'intérieur du dôme, prises par Robert Duchesnay en 1990 après sa réouverture à la suite des rénovations.
