SJS:

Memories of Geodesic Domes, Teaching "Community Encounter", a Class Construction Project, a 'field-trip' to BLM land, a field alongside the Colorado River. The goal: to build a geodesic dome and after assembling it to camp & live in it 'off the grid', 'lightly', 'ecologically' for three days... then disassemble the dome, repack it in our caravan of vans, cars and a truck and drive back to Los Angeles.... and in the the next class session discuss 'key learnings.'

Our class experience, in 1971, was successful albeit complicated ;-

Desert Domes: Making the World a "Fuller" Place

By Tara Landry


And, then there's a Big Version of Spaceship Earth 'Geodecially

One of the most famous geodesic domes is Spaceship Earth at EPCOT in Disney World, Florida. The EPCOT icon's adaptation of Buckminster Fuller's geodesic dome.

GreenPolicy360's founder was invited in the early 80s by the Disney company to the opening of Epcot and the Spaceship Earth exhibit to report on 'how far Disney has gone since Mickey Mouse in "Steamboat Willie". Toot, steam whistle, they even gave me an archival wooden cabinet from their Studio in the Valley. Its drawers were for art, cells, renderings... and yes Disney went a long way from the hand-drawn celluloid cartoons to theme parks Disneyland, Disney-world... The day the gates opened and there in Florida was a Very Big Spaceship Earth.... and of course a ride and a voice guide. We used to call the best rides E-tickets. They still are tho' now the tiks are digital ... #PlanetCitizens
