As a conceptual pioneer, Buckminster Fuller worked without the benefits, or the restrictions, of rigorous structural theories. It was Dr. Douglas Wright who analyzed Fuller's designs and formalized the theories for the safe construction of metal domes.

Dr. Wright was able to apply his space frame theories to the challenging designs of a number of large domed structures -- at a time before computers with the capability of modeling three dimensional structures were widely available.

Dr. Wright contributed his skills to the realization of such impressive buildings as Mexico City's Sports Palace, as well as the Skydome and the remarkable structures at Ontario Place in Toronto.

Dr. Wright is a founding director of Geometrica.
