Die Biospère auf der Ile Ste-Hélène entstand anlässlich der Weltausstellung Expo 67 nach Entwürfen des Architekten Richard Buckminster Fuller - The Biosphere, on Saint Helen´s Island was built for the 1967 World Fair, Expo 67 and was designed by Richard Buckminster Fuller (Montreal / Québec, Canada)
Originally created for the USA Pavillion at Expo 67, the 1967 World's Fair in Montreal Quebec, Canada, this geodesic dome was designed by R. Buckminster Fuller (called the world's first green architect by Sir Norman Foster). Today, the dome is the Biosphere, a museum dedicated to the environmen. It is situated at Parc Jean-Drapeau, on Saint Helen's Island.
The structure originally formed an enclosed structure of steel and acrylic cells, 250 feet in diameter 200 ft high. The dome is a Class 1, Frequency 16 Icosahedron.
I took a quick snap of Montreal's Biosphere as we exited the race track and made I way back to the city by way of Parc Jean Drapeau.
Seul musée entièrement dédié à l'environnement en Amérique du Nord, la Biosphère a pour mandat de sensibiliser aux grands enjeux environnementaux.

Un matin, un vendredi, c'était novembre. Un soleil géométrique émergea à l'horizon, avare de lumière, froid comme une aube moribonde.
One morning, a Friday, it was November. A geometric sun emerged on the horizon, stingy with light, cold as a dying dawn.

This is Buckminster Fuller's Geodesic dome (US pavilion at Expo '67 in Montreal) Years ago in 1976 the fabric that enclosed the building was badly damaged in a fire and never replaced. It now houses the Montreal Biosphere, something I'm told is well worth going to. It is very meaningful to me because way back when, I studied Architecture at school and my final paper was on Buckminster Fuller.
That's my guess, anyway. ∞ Charlotte, Vermont USA • I saw this in a backyard while looking for a shortcut. One of those put on the brakes moments. Note the locking storm door.
drove by a local eatery and spotted these geodesic domes which are covering multi-person tables. since new england spring weather can be so changeable (and cold), i thought this was a brilliant idea!!
buckminster fuller would be so proud

I took this one yesterday with my DIY VIS+IR modified 6MP Nikon D50, Nikon 10-24mm lens and a Hoya 25A filter. Initially processed from NEF (raw) using Nikon Capture NX-D and then channel swapped in Photoshop.
This was one of the most popular buildings of Expo 67, The World's Fair in Montreal, Quebec, during Canada's centennial birthday. The structure itself is about 200 feet high and was the USA pavillion. It contained six levels of exhibits and a Minirail passed through it. Checkout the very cool newsreel footage showing what this building originally looked like:

The pavilion has since been converted into the Biosphere Environment Museum.

The worst bad ideas are the ones that almost work. The ones were you think that with the application of modern technology that you could bring to full fruition. The Dymaxion House is one of those almost good ideas, but ultimatly bad. Buckminster Fuller was on to something here, but it's an idea best left alone.
The Biosphere is a museum in Montreal dedicated to the environment. It is located at Parc Jean-Drapeau, on Saint Helen's Island in the former pavilion of the United States for the 1967 World Fair Expo 67.
The architect of the geodesic dome was Buckminster Fuller. The building originally formed an enclosed structure of steel and acrylic cells, 76 metres (250 ft) in diameter and 62 metres (200 ft) high. The dome is a Class 1, Frequency 16 Icosahedron. A complex system of shades was used to control its internal temperature.
Architects from Golden Metak Productions designed the interior exhibition space. Visitors had access to four themed platforms divided into seven levels. The building included a 37-metre-long escalator, the longest ever built at the time. The Minirail monorail ran through the pavilion.[1]

Dymaxion Map.1946 "Buckminster Fuller set out to develop the world's most accurate two dimensional map as a planning tool. The Dymaxion Projection presents geographic information in a single, comprehensive picture without breaks in any of the continental colours, with minimal distortion of the relative shapes or sizes of the land masses."
