Nel frattempo, nella vita di R. Buckminster Fuller
Tutta la vita1954
Patent for the geodesic dome
In 1954 Fuller was awarded U.S. patent 2,682,235 for the geodesic dome. His application made no mention of the self-supporting dome created and patented in Germany on 19 June 1925 by Walther Bauersfeld: Fuller undoubtedly popularized this type of structure, but he is mistakenly given credit for its design.

The Alfred Korzybski Memorial Lecture
