I cannot provide an exact date, but the Romans were among the first cultures to embrace the architectural style widely.
An electric ceiling fan was invented by the man who had engineered the electric motor used in the first Singer sewing machines, Philip Diehl. In 1882 he adapted that motor for use in a ceiling-mounted fan.
The ceiling fan was invented in the 1860s by American inventor Philip Diehl. He adapted the design of the popular mechanical fan to be mounted on the ceiling, providing a more efficient way to circulate air in a room.
Philip Diehl invented ceiling fans. Philip H. Diehl (January 29, 1847 - April 7, 1913) was a German-American mechanical engineer and inventor who held several U.S. patents, including electric incandescent lamps, electric motors for sewing machines and other uses, and ceiling fans. Diehl was a contemporary of Thomas Edison and his inventions caused Edison to reduce the price of his incandescent bulb.
A hemispherical roof or ceiling is known as a dome. It is a curved structural element that resembles half of a sphere, providing strength and stability to large buildings such as cathedrals or government buildings. Domes are often used for their architectural beauty and ability to distribute weight evenly.
The concept of a bio-dome, a self-sustaining ecosystem enclosed in a transparent structure, was popularized by architect Richard Buckminster Fuller in the mid-20th century. However, the first practical application of a bio-dome was the Biosphere 2 experiment in the 1990s, which was designed by a team of scientists and engineers led by John Polk Allen.
