00:00:55 Buckminster Fuller: Don’t fight forces, use them.

00:01:04 Tom Sachs: Over the next two weeks you will be building a geodesic dome using what’s around you. This is not a course in dome geometry or architecture.

00:01:19 Tom Sachs: This is a class about embracing uncertainity, understanding the limitations and potential of your immediate surroundings. Relying on your intuition.

00:01:32 Tom Sachs: Relying on your resolve. Relying on your own creativity and rising to meet challanges.

00:02:01 Tom Sachs: By August 14th you will have completed your dome, here is the recipe.

00:02:08 Tom Sachs: You’ll produce a single eight and half by eleven inch sheet of paper explaining what your dome is about. The sheet must have your name, the date and the title of your dome.
