from buckminster fuller posted in art and design by nevereatshreddedwheat

While Buckminster Fuller was teaching at Southern Illinois University Carbondale from 1959 to 1970 he lived in this thirty-nine foot white plywood dome on the corner of South Forest Street and West Cherry Street, the only geodesic dome that he ever lived in and owned. It is currently (as of 2012) undergoing a complete restoration.
