Time passes. Things change. Sometimes this is ephemeral like clouds floating by in a blue sky, and other times as hard as a wrecking ball. On Figueroa Street in Downtown Los Angeles, this was once the view from the open-air shopping plaza called 7+Fig, with this Round geodesic dome framing the nearby 52-story Pelli Tower for nearly a decade. Then, with redevelopment in 2012 the shopping center was reconstructed, renamed FIGat7th, and our Round... gone.
