Abstract

Richard Buckminster Fuller saw his name immortalized in the world of architecture by signing the authorship of the famous geodesic dome in steel and acrylic, whose diameter of 76 m defined the volume of the pavilion of the United States of America in the context of Expo 67 in Quebec, Canada. After some historical vicissitudes, the pavilion, known as La Biosphère de Montreal, located in Jean Drapeau Park on the island of Saint Helena, is an emblematic ensemble that today takes on the function of an environmental museum.
