Richard Buckminster “Bucky” Fuller (1895-1983 was one of the earliest and greatest green activists and designers. He is best known for the Geodesic Dome. This is a spherical or partial-spherical shell structure. It is based on a network of great circles (geodesics) lying on the surface of a sphere. The geodesics intersect to form triangular elements that have local triangular rigidity and also distribute the stress across the entire structure. As a garden designer, there is no better way to demonstrate one’s green credentials than to have a geodesic greenhouse in your garden.
