Comments on: Geodesic Dome, Baton Rouge http://googlesightseeing.com/2006/03/03/geodesic-dome-baton-rouge/ Why bother seeing the world for real?

This was historically one of the most significant buildings in Louisiana, if not the United States. It symbolized forward thinking, human accomplishment, and Buckminster Fullers true still unrecognized genius. It will be sadly missed...

I told them I'd driven by it last year and how cool it was. Well, it is completety gone, and they accused me of halucinations. Sure glad it's still posted here so I can prove my sanity.

I live in a geodesic dome and am a big fan of Fuller's work. The dome is truly a stable and efficient shape; I hope its use becomes more widespread in the future, especially in hurricane-prone areas.
