Visionary American architect, inventor, writer, and philosopher (1895–1983) perhaps best known for inventing the geodesic dome, one of the signal developments in modern design and engineering. ALS, one page, 8.5 x 11, August 23, 1950. Letter to Robert J. Saunders, apparently responding to an inquiry about Fuller’s Dymaxion House, which he had built a prototype of in Wichita, but had not been commercially developed. In part: “Two of your letters have been forwarded to me from Wichita—I do not know of any further hopeful developments in Wichita but I am doing my best as per items enclosed to get some new momentum and can say that it is slowly building up. I hope in due course to be able to turn out a job enough better than Wichita to make it stick.” In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope addressed in Fuller’s hand, three informational pamphlets about the project, and a letter from a Fortune magazine representative enclosing an article about the Fuller House.
