Designed by Buckminster Puller the three structures are: a 100 foot long space frame of aluminum anodlzed gold; a green plastic dome 55 feet in diameter, and analuminum mast.These structures of unusual lightness, strength and beauty illustrate Mr.Fuller's patented construction ideas which are based on mathematical formulas and follow patterns found in nature to utilize in an unconventional way the forces of compression and tension on which all buildings depend. The application of hisprinciples could lead to architecture of an entirely new appearance and character." Ships same or next business day from Dinkytown in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
