[show more] The United States pavilion was enclosed by the most memorable structure, Buckminster Fuller's 250 foot diameter geodesic dome. Unlike many of Fuller's ugly squat half domes, the one at Expo was a 3/4 sphere set amidst a park-like setting. It floated above the fairgrounds like an enormous silver bubble. During the day its acrylic skin sparkled in the sunlight, and when darkness fell, its interior lighting gave it a vari-colored glow Quote from : http://naid.sppsr.uc...tedstates.htm [show less] Add a comment	Vote! 3 votes 39 pts
