Relating to or characteristic of building structures that are partially domed or have dome-like features on one side.
From 'hemi-' (half) + 'domatic' (relating to a dome). This architectural term describes structures where only part of the roof is dome-shaped rather than the entire structure.
Hemidomatic architecture appears in ancient Roman temples where half the building has a magnificent dome while the other half has traditional ceiling—it's architectural compromise at its most elegant!
