R. Buckminster Fuller, the Dymaxion Car & Geodesic Dome
by From Fuller's book, "Grunch of Giants"
Photography and Film
Inventor, architect, designer, engineer, futurist and writer, Richard Buckminster "Bucky" Fuller popularized the geodesic dome in architecture.
Fuller's path was a famously winding one. In his early 30's, after bankruptcy and the death of his daughter, Fuller fell into a deep depression during which he often contemplated suicide. Instead, he re-invented himself and led his life as if it were "an experiment, to find what a single individual [could] contribute to changing the world and benefiting all humanity." He went on to become an enormously influential inventor and designer, particularly in the fields of low-cost, practical housing and transportation.
