Buckminster Fuller-Dome home

Preserved R Buckminster Fuller and Anne Hewlitt Dome Home.jpg

The Fuller Dome is the one and only geodesic dome Fuller ever lived in. He was a resident from 1960-1971 as he taught at Southern Illinois University. This building was a direct dedication to Fullers legacy on the future of architecture. The dome kept to the prolific dome design that Fuller was most famous for and used similar dynamics that were used in his much larger builds. In my opinion this dome is much more inhabitable. It has a much sturdier build and the glass frames are nice as well

I love the idea that Fuller himself lived in a dome house due to his popular architecture style of dome-like builds. My favorite part is their understanding of the simplicity of the design much like how they have the dome right in front of the building in the second picture I have.
