And local moviegoers, industry stars, and mid-century design enthusiasts are all distraught over its fate. Designed in 1963 by Welton Becket — who also designed the cylindrical Capitol Records building a few blocks away — the Cinerama Dome was the world’s first all-concrete geodesic dome, made from 300 precast … [Read more...] about Don’t Worry, the Cinerama Dome Won’t Get Demolished (Probably)
