Who was Buckminster Fuller?

R. Buckminster "Bucky" Fuller was the architect, mathematician and inventor who popularized geodesic domes. Chosen by many today for energy efficiency, domes can be a fun do-it-yourself project. Want to build your own clubhouse?

Whenever I think of Buckminster Fuller, I think of the Dymaxion House at the Henry Ford museum - http://www.thehenryford.org/exhibits/dymaxion/index.html

You're not alone! I think of the Dymaxion House, too. I took some photos the last time we visited the Henry Ford.

I want to live in a Dymaxion House, at least for a week!
