Intussen, in het leven van R. Buckminster Fuller
Het hele leven1954
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
In the 1950s Fuller attended seminars and workshops organized by the Institute of General Semantics, and in 1955 he delivered the annual Alfred Korzybski Memorial Lecture; Korzybski's ideas of general semantics influenced him.
