I'm not such a big fan of Buckminster. Are geodesic domes really that important? I'm sure you could compile a decent sized list of what topics are related to geodesics, and I'm sure Fuller was really smart, notable, and oh-so-quirky. But I'd rather devote time to learning about people who worked on stuff that had a larger scale impact. Henry Ford, Edison, Tesla, Feynmann, Einstein, etc.
