Noticed: Dome Flashback
Is the geodesic dome making a comeback?

On June 26, the Whitney Museum in New York will open an exhibition on R. Buckminster Fuller, who developed the geodesic dome in the 1940s.

Bucky’s dome wasn’t simply a catalyst for counterculture architecture of the 1960s and ‘70s—it was one of the green movement’s “originating seeds,” according to an article in this month’s Architectural Record, which traces the dome's origins.

Though the dome trend may have tapered along with our bell-bottoms, it seems to be flaring up again. Fritz Haeg, whose work at the Whitney Biennial is featured in dwell.com’s emerging designer video series, owns a 1980s geodesic dome in the Los Angeles hills (above). There, he hosted his Sundown Salons, a series of performances and discussions.





+ Drop City, a domed commune built in Colorado in 1965.
