Description:
La série document le dôme géodésique Senneville Barn Dome, dit aussi The Barn Dome. Conçu par la firme Jeffrey Lindsay & Associates, il fut construction en 1954. La série contient une photographie montrant, depuis l'intérieur, la structure géodésique de bois dont l'un des triangles est recouvert d'une membrane de fibre de verre qui enveloppait la structure à l'origine, aujourd'hui disparue et remplacée par des feuilles de métal peint. On aperçoit de plus la silhouette d'un homme travaillant à assembler la structure, vraisemblablement le propriétaire du terrain et client John Hackney, qui a commandé à Jeffrey Lindsay (Montréal, 1924-Los Angeles, 1984), architecte, le dôme en question pour s'en servir comme étable. La photographie est accompagné d'un dossier documentaire contenant des photocopies de documents tirés des archives de Senneville (Plot Plan, Application for Permit to Build, Memorendum) et deux photographies récentes de l'édifice (Robert Duchesnay, photographe, avril 2004).
