History of Cupolas

The cupola in architecture is widespread; it has a history which many architectural features just cannot match. The early history of the cupola is a virtual pseudo tower. It served many purposes, from a covered light source to, ventilation, and style. It started back to the 8th century when the cupola was no more than to cover a minaret. These evolved and became the inspiration for the dome. They were no more than ornamental but represented massive achievements in architectural design and statement of proof of cultural superiority. Many cultures have historically used architecture as a status symbol and the cupolas provide some genuine states. The West took up the challenge and the Christian churches were soon building their own angular cupolas. By the Renaissance, major cities in Europe and the Islamic world were awash with magnificent buildings. The cupola turned architecture into a truly complex artistic medium.

Installation of Cupolas

We have manufactured hundreds of custom cupolas for home owners and organizations with a track record of proven success. Our modular approach to building allows us to complete many projects in their entirety within our manufacturing facility. Other projects require more onsite work on the ground prior to hoisting with a crane and others require that they be built in place. BA Roofing & Greenbuilding Construction has experience in all of these construction methods.
