Ever since R. Buckminster Fuller popularized the design in the mid-20th century, there’s been something captivating about the geodesic dome. While the structure typically makes architecture lovers salivate, now it’s conquering the heart of another type of urbanist: the city farmer. A new dome-based prototype promises an affordable method of rooftop aquaculture for apartment and commercial buildings—as the website calls it, getting “fish from the sky.”
Did the dome ultimately succeed or fail? In our new Bucky Fuller exhibition, this question is left for the viewer to decide.

Snagged this awesome geodesic sphere GIF directly from the Buckminster Fuller Wikipedia page. Once our Bucky Fuller exhibition opens (March 31), we’re thinking of having a day where we post NOTHING BUT DOMES to our Tumblr. Are you in?
Getting so excited for our upcoming exhibition, The Utopian Impulse: Buckminster Fuller and the Bay Area!
