In this premiere episode of Building Better with Riley Carter, we journey through the engineering brilliance of Rome’s Pantheon Dome—an architectural marvel that continues to inspire designers, builders, and sustainability advocates alike. Drawing from Riley Carter’s 2025 book The Pantheon Dome: Rome’s Engineering Masterpiece and Its Legacy in Architecture and Innovation, we explore how Roman concrete, symbolic geometry, and project management under Hadrian still echo in today’s high-performance building practices.
