Altruistic Genius: Buckminster Fuller's Plans to Save the Planet is now open!

This special exhibition features two major suites of prints by Buckminster Fuller among other remarkable works from his multi-decade career and is presented in three sections: Inventions; Synergetics; and Black Mountain College and Lasting Influence.

University of North Carolina Asheville’s STEAM Studio brings to life the designs of Fuller’s Fly’s Eye dome and Geodesic dome with student-produced models on view in the exhibition—two feats of design that transformed the history of modern architecture.
This project is supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts and The Maurer Family Foundation.
