Geodesic Dome and Theater

The Geodesic Dome, with some students resting underneath.

The dome of SHE was built to draw attention to ecological building techniques and now houses an open theater. The dome structure has a small surface area and is naturally supportive  with no need for internal supports like columns or walls. It is a special place to hold small lectures, as its circular design creates good acoustics without a need for speakers. It was built by a group of students from Sheikh Hussein and King’s Academy, and includes a series of connected steel trusses from top to bottom.  The location of the dome and the theater overlooks the EcoPark and has a magnificent view, especially overlooking the Jordan River at sunset.
