Biosphère
Fuller built this as the US Pavilion for Expo 67, and the acrylic skin burned off in 1976, which is the gift — now you read the pure geodesic steel lattice against the sky. I walk the islands just to stand inside it and trace how the triangulated structure does so much with so little.
Buckminster Fuller's geodesic dome from Expo 67 — once the US Pavilion, now an environment museum and a monument to structural geometry.
