Of course this puts me in mind of The American Pavilion at Expo '67 in Montreal. Jeff, how about a post on THAT building, and some of the other structures there. That was my introduction to Fuller, as a nine-year old. Mind expansion was big in 67!
Where did you find these images.. I am trying to access to some original pictures and drawings from Fuller’s work and it is not being easy! Suggestions?
The current Bucky exhibit at the Whitney in NY is pretty cool. They have some of these patent drawings if I recall. If you can't attend, the catalog is available online from the Whitney store: Link: http://www.whitney.org/www/store/index.shtml
There is also a Bucky symposium at Sept 12 + 13 at The Great Hall of the Cooper Union

I stumbled on Buckminster Fuller's patent drawings for geodesic domes today – so I thought I'd re-post them here. 
Where structural innovation and the U.S. government intersect.

Many thanks,

Just found them at the site linked in the post. Sorry that doesn't help very much! You could try contacting the Fuller Institute.
