Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: The geodesic dome designed by Buckminster Fuller. Commenting on the structure he says: In today's world you have to learn to do more with less. That's what my building does and that's what the German pavilion does. My building is the only one at the fair that's so light you actually know what it weights.
