When R. Buckminster Fuller, the celebrated and revolutionary architect and inventor of the geodesic dome, met with six ex-gang members, who called themselves ¿CHARAS,¿ a dome-building experiment began in an empty lot on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Through stories, profiles, interviews, and images, this book charts their process¿from the intensive study of advanced mathematics and principles of dome building, to the obstacles of physically constructing domes. Now back-in-print, this intimate and important book tells a story that touches upon topics such as the morals of city planning and affordable housing, rehabilitation and education, public vs. private space, and the desire to strengthen inner-city communities.
