(i have revised my initial proposal.) for this second project, i will be focusing on the mitchell park horticultural conservatory, "the domes."
the original conservatory was built in 1898 but was demolished due to poor construction. a design competition was held for the new design. donald grieb won with his design for three glass domes that were 140 feet in diameter and 85 feet tall. it was completed in 1967. each dome presented its visitors with a different settings and are named accordingly: desert dome, tropical dome and floral show dome.
i normally photograph people, so this project will be a learning experience as i will have to learn to photograph plants and architecture. i will photograph digitally and present images of varying sizes. since there are three domes but all have different plant life interiors, i could present some sort of compare and contrast series.
