R. Buckminster Fuller was one of the visionaries of the twentieth century. With tensegrity structures, dymaxion houses and cars, Fuller projection maps, and the geodesic dome, he found new ways to look at old problems. This category is an investigation of not only Fuller's architecture, but of the full range of design ideas that occupied his productive life.
