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.
