Book excerpt: "This project was assigned to Swan Wooster on an urgent basis in mid-May, 1980, with the intention of installing the caisson units during the fall of the same year. Consequently little time was available for researching alternatives to the four sided, four caissoned system as originally proposed by Dome engineers. During the early weeks of design the system was modified by Swan Wooster to an eight-sided, four unit system and concrete was chosen as the most suitable construction material, from the point of view of cost and availability within the tight time schedule. With the decision to postpone construction startup to 1981, more time became available to review the possible alternatives to the above concept and to see if a preferable system could be devised. The review, nevertheless, confirms the choice of the original basic system (modified to 8 sides) as being the one most suited to the design criteria and the conditions for mobilization, set-down and re-use of the structure" -- ASTIS [online] database.
