Calico Dome, Textile showroom in Ahmedabad, India

The Calico Dome spans 12 meters in diameter, featuring a five-pointed geodesic structure supported by eight curved iron struts and steel pillars.

Inaugurated in 1962, the dome served as a display space for Calico Mills until the company ceased operations in the late 1990s.

The first fashion show in Ahmedabad took place at the dome during the 1970s, introducing new forms of textile presentations to the local community.

The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation manages the structure, which stands at the intersection of Relief Road, offering views of the surrounding urban landscape.

The dome combines a double system of geodesic framework and space frame, departing from conventional six or eight-point configurations found worldwide.
