The former bank building was demolished to make way for new graduate student housing on the Arizona State University campus but the roof was very unique and it was preserved. The geodesic dome was built in 1962 and was very futuristic at the time, it is 145 feet in diameter. It has since been moved across the street and is incorporated into another student housing project as a sun shade in a commons area.Editing

Aerial photography can be lots of fun and very rewarding. Plan where and know where your subject is before taking off, time is money in aerial photography, be prepared. Remember, no photo is worth risking lives, safety first.
