Buckminster Fuller is best known for the invention of the geodesic dome, the lightest, strongest, and most cost-effective structure ever devised.
• The geodesic dome is able to cover more
space without internal supports than any other enclosure.
• The geodesic dome becomes proportionally lighter and stronger the larger it is.
• The geodesic dome is a breakthrough in shelter, not only in cost-effectiveness, but in ease of construction.
• Today over 300,000 domes dot the globe. Source: http://www.ideafinder.com/history/inventions/geodesicdome.htm
