Zeiss Dome:
“When my dome was first shown in the Museum of Modern Art in New York, Kenneth Snelson and others said that my geodesic domes had been anticipated by the Zeiss Dome in Germany. But the Zeiss Dome did not anticipate my tensegrity structures at all. The Zeiss Dome was triangulated, but with all that reinforcing they did not realize that the structural integrity was in the net itself–that it could stand by itself.”
