Nice pictures! I went to SIU in Carbondale back in the late 60’s early 70’s, took Bucky Fuller’s World game class while he was teaching there. As I look back it was a bunch of horseshit. I did live in one of his domes for a year, it was on a platform on 10 foot high telephone pole stilts. Used to park my VW beetle underneath and climb up the fender and roof to get inside via the trap door in the floor. TMI probably.

Another funky rebel,.. I am impressed !
I wanted to live in a geodesic dome, as it seemed practical for thermal dynamics of heating a home, air conditioning, minimizing construction expense, etc..
Just building a small model proved that to be wrong in so many ways
as home furniture and appliances are not designed for arc curving walls / ceiling , and leaves too many voids .
I still have my '60's-'70's copy of the 'Whole Earth Catlogue' , and the MotherEarth News starting with volume #1- through the first three years .
TMI probably.
And no , I did not meet 'Wavey Gravey'; but I follow Christopher Kimball on Americas Test Kitchen, who used to cook for the commune. Dam !! I have just outed , and dated myself !
