Abstract
Two 20th century visionaries crossed paths at Drop City (near
Trinidad, CO) USA. Buckminster Fuller awarded Drop City his Dymaxion
award in 1969. Steve Baer went to Drop City to explore ideas that
led to the discovery of his 31-zone system. Fuller is credited with
the invention of geodesic domes, while Baer invented zomes. Both
started with the icosahedron.
