N\u00e5r man kigger mod nord fra Killian Court, bliver man som bes\u00f8gende p\u00e5 Massachusetts Institute of Technology<\/a> m\u00f8dt af et af de mest ikoniske syn i det akademiske liv i USA \u2013 og uden tvivl et af de mest genkendelige i Cambridge: Great Dome. Som alle store arkitektoniske mesterv\u00e6rker blev Great Dome skabt for at s\u00e6tte et markant pr\u00e6g, og mere end et \u00e5rhundrede efter sin f\u00e6rdigg\u00f8relse g\u00f8r den det stadig.<\/p>

Den store kuppel rager 45 meter op over Barker-l\u00e6sesalen, og b\u00e5de dens h\u00f8jde og arkitektoniske detaljer er skabt for at fremmane klassiske idealer. Ligesom katedraler og h\u00f8jere l\u00e6reanstalter over hele verden er kuplen beregnet til at v\u00e6kke en f\u00f8lelse af \u00e6refrygt og respekt. Den siger til beskueren: Dette er et forfinet rum.<\/p>

MIT Great Domes centrale beliggenhed<\/h2>

The Great Dome ligger centralt i hjertet af MIT\u2019s campus, og med sin imponerende h\u00f8jde er den en af Cambridges mest genkendelige og lettilg\u00e6ngelige sev\u00e6rdigheder. Omgivet af Killian Courts<\/a> frodige gr\u00f8nne omr\u00e5der er The Great Dome et popul\u00e6rt sted blandt b\u00e5de turister og studerende og danner rammen om dimissioner og utallige begivenheder p\u00e5 campus.<\/p>

Den \u00e6ldste bygning p\u00e5 campus, Great Dome, er s\u00e5 t\u00e6t forbundet med Cambridge, at man n\u00e6sten kan sige, at den h\u00f8rer lige s\u00e5 meget til byen som til instituttet.
Kuppelen blev opf\u00f8rt i 1916, efter at MIT var flyttet fra Back Bay i Boston<\/a> til Cambridge. For at markere denne overgang planlagde instituttet et imponerende nyt campusdesign, der skulle understrege institutionens fokus p\u00e5 topkvalitet og dens ambitioner for fremtiden. Kuppelen, der rager 150 fod op i luften p\u00e5 sit h\u00f8jeste punkt og er st\u00f8rre end b\u00e5de det amerikanske Capitol og St. Paul's Cathedral, blev midtpunktet p\u00e5 det nye campus.<\/p>

Det mest bem\u00e6rkelsesv\u00e6rdige ved Den Store Kuppel er dog m\u00e5ske det, der kun kan ses indefra. Inde i den 30 meter brede Great Dome ligger rotunden, hvis diameter og h\u00f8jde begge er 23 meter. De to kupler m\u00f8des i det cirkul\u00e6re ovenlys, eller oculus, som lader str\u00e5ler af naturligt lys str\u00f8mme ind i Barker Reading Room. Selve oculus har en diameter p\u00e5 8,2 meter, n\u00e6sten n\u00f8jagtig samme st\u00f8rrelse som oculus i Parthenon i Rom.<\/p>

Planl\u00e6gning af et bes\u00f8g i Great Dome<\/h2>

Den Store Kuppel er imponerende p\u00e5 alle tider af d\u00f8gnet. Tidligt om morgenen, n\u00e5r solen st\u00e5r lavt og lyset er bl\u00f8dt, ser kalkstenen ud til at lyse op mod himlen. Men jeg valgte at fotografere kuplen sent p\u00e5 eftermiddagen, fordi jeg \u00f8nskede at se den i det disede lys fra den gyldne time. Det sene eftermiddagslys fremh\u00e6vede kuplens karakteristiske arkitektoniske detaljer og understregede dens neoklassiske elementer, hvilket gav betragteren en fornemmelse af bygningens storhed.<\/p>

Den Store Kuppel er \u00e5ben for offentligheden, og der er gratis adgang.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
