The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) has announced the upcoming debut of a new exhibition on the work of engineer, architect, and all-around design polymath Buckminster Fuller. Set to open March 31, “The Utopian Impulse: Buckminster Fuller and the Bay Area” will feature various highlights from Bucky’s nearly eight-decade career, including such crowd favorites as his Dymaxion car and 4d House. More intriguingly, perhaps, the show will also explore Fuller’s unique influence on designers and thinkers in and around the Bay Area.
