The uniqueness of Bucky's geodesic architecture is that you can enclose more space with less structure. Two prime examples are Epcot Center at Walt Disney World, and his most spectacular - the U.S. Pavilion at the 1967 World Expo in Montreal, Canada. As many a genius, he was ahead of his time and for much of his life, he was often considered somewhat of a crackpot. For example, Bucky observed that - we are each unique individuals. We each see things differently, we each have our own set of experiences.
Nobody has exactly the same set of experiences, even identical twins.
Because we each have our own set of filters through which we see, feel and experience the world around us. My definition of the word believe means to accept an explanation of physical phenomena without any experiential evidence. Among the results of his commitment to evolve and cultivate tools, Bucky described Synergetic Geometry, the geodesic dome, the Dymaxion Map, Car, and House, the Geoscope, and the World Game. Fuller received numerous awards in addition to his 48 honorary degrees and doctorates including the Gold Medal from the American Institute of Architects and the Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian award that can be given by the government of the United States of America. For me, and possibly for you, Bucky's understanding of what works is extremely valid - right now.
