Models from the R. Buckminster Fuller Archive.

 

The images below link to QuickTime Virtual Reality objects made from models in Stanford's R. Buckminster Fuller archive. These and similar models were used by Fuller to demonstrate the concepts of "energetic-synergetic geometry" in his public lectures. Larger versions of these QTVR objects will be part of an upcoming exhibition based on the archive. Definitions of some terms coined by Fuller to describe the geometry used in these models may be found in the glossary.

To search the contents of the Fuller archive at Stanford, see the Finding aid to the R. Buckminster Fuller Collection, Stanford University Libraries.

The QuickTime plugin, available from Apple, is required to view these objects. The QTVR files range from approximately 1 to 2.5 MB in size.
