We’re always thinking about innovative teaching spaces to inspire our students and teachers including our geodesic dome, the iconic structure imagineered by the amazing polymath, sustainability and design pioneer Buckminster Fuller. Fuller perfected the mathematical ideas behind geodesic domes and hoped that their properties - greater strength and space for minimum weight- might be the future of housing. The first full-scale geodesic dome was erected by Fuller on the campus of The Black Mountain College, a pioneering progressive school based on the democratic principles of John Dewey which emphasised the study of art as a central component of a liberal arts education.
