Richard Buckminster “Bucky” Fuller (1895-1983 was one of the earliest and greatest green activists and designers. He is best known for the Geodesic Dome. This is a spherical or partial-spherical shell structure. It is based on a network of great circles (geodesics) lying on the surface of a sphere. The geodesics intersect to form triangular elements that have local triangular rigidity and also distribute the stress across the entire structure. As a garden designer, there is no better way to demonstrate one’s green credentials than to have a geodesic greenhouse in your garden.
River-worn paving stones set in topsoil. Had cement mortar been used instead, the effect would have been harsh and moss would not grow in the joints between the stones. Earth joints require more maintenance but the effect is much more beautiful. The clean-cut lines of the edging blocks act as a foil to the timeless pebbles – and the paving itself is a foil to the rich glow of the pond in springtime.
