In 2002, to celebrate the acquisition of the Fuller archive, the Stanford Libraries and the Stanford Humanities Laboratory launched a series of Conversations on R. Buckminster Fuller, inventor of the Dymaxion car, the Dymaxion Dwelling Unit, and the geodesic dome, author of Utopia or Oblivion, 4D Timelock, Synergetics, Tetrascroll and Critical Path. The series consists of filmed interviews with Fuller's key collaborators, interlocutors and contemporaries, and is designed to enhance critical understanding of this enigmatic polymath.
