Richard Buckminster Fuller, (born July 12, 1895, Milton, Massachusetts, U.S. - died July 1, 1983, Los Angeles, California), has been an American engineer, architect, and futurist who developed the geodesic dome - the only large dome that can be set directly on the ground as a complete structure and the only practical kind of building that has no limits in dimensions (i.e., those beyond which the structural strength must be insufficient). Among the most noteworthy geodesic domes he realized there is the United States pavilion for Expo 67 in Montreal. Also a poet and a philosopher, Fuller was noted for his unorthodox ideas on global issues.
