• Shine Dome, named for the Australian biologist John Shine, a major contributor to the building's renovation, is a striking landmark in the Australian capital city of Canberra. Constructed in 1959 as the home of the Australian Academy of Science, the dome is a mathematically interesting structure featuring arches and a surrounding moat. The dome, a spherical cap, is supported by concrete piers grounded in the moat.
