 Baldwin was a student of Buckminster Fuller; Baldwin's work has been inspired by Fuller's principles and (in the case of some of Baldwin's published writing) has popularized and interpreted Fuller's ideas and achievements.
 In his own right, Baldwin has been a figure in American designers' efforts to incorporate solar, wind, and other renewable sources of energy.
 In his career, being a fabricator has been as important as being a designer.
 Baldwin is noted as the inventor of the "Pillow Dome," a design that combines Buckminster Fuller's geodesic dome with panels of inflated ETFE plastic panels.

The R. Buckminster Fuller and Anne Hewlett Dome Home, located at 407 S. Forest Ave. in Carbondale, Illinois, is a geodesic dome house which was the residence of Buckminster Fuller from 1960 to 1971.
 The house, inhabited by Fuller while he taught at Southern Illinois University, was the only geodesic dome Fuller lived in as well as the only property he ever owned.
 Fuller, a prolific architect and engineer, popularized the geodesic dome as a building design, and his house was one of the first geodesic dome residences to be constructed.
 The home was built and designed by Al Miller of the Pease Woodworking Company.
 While living in the home, Fuller was awarded nine patents, published eleven books, and designed the Montreal Biosphère, one of his most famous works.
