Cool Oriental Palace For Siam King Stirring Hot Climate
A description describes a pavilion built for the Siamese royal household. Constructed of a clear ice like geology product, the round 28 foot diameter palace sits in a marble basin that can be flooded to cover all but the 41 foot high dome. A Chinese engineer designed it to combat heat with an impenetrable door and cement joints. The basin fills with the coldest water, cooling the interior while the dome remains above water for respiration.
