File info[edit]
| Caption | Construction of Shrine of the Báb, Mt. Carmel, Haifa, Israel. Sketch of the eight-pointed star foundation for the Octagon: 1. Outline of original Edifice, built by ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, roughly square in shape. 2. Eight reinforced concrete piers rising from bedrock to one foot above roof level of original Edifice. 3. Reinforced concrete eight-pointed star foundation, consisting of eight interlocked concrete beams one foot wide, six feet deep and forty—three feet long. The eight points of this star rest on the eight concrete piers; the entire star is raised one foot above the roof of the original Edifice. 4. Dotted line connecting points of the star foundation represents the façade of the Octagon. Small circles at intersections of beams indicate position of the eight hollow steel columns (Manesmann pipes). |
