Buckminster Fuller-Inspired Gold Dome To Be Preserved As Historic Site in Oklahoma  

Posted by Big Gav in

Inhabitat has a post on a building inspired by Bucky Fuller - Buckminster Fuller-Inspired Gold Dome To Be Preserved As Historic Site in Oklahoma.

A 1958 geodesic dome based on Buckminster Fuller’s design has been purchased by an Oklahoma environmental engineering firm. The historic Gold Dome building had been in danger -- its previous owner decided to put the building on the market after finding it would cost $2.5 million to repair various problems with the building, including long-standing damage to its roof.
