When Buckminster Fuller conceived of the geodesic dome in the 1940s he was intrigued by the efficiency of a super-lightweight structure that gets stronger as it gets bigger. He designed a version of it to cover an unfolding home (“Standard of Living Package”; 1948). In 1960 he came up with a plan to build a dome over Manhattan to better regulate air quality and microclimates.
In 1963, he was asked by the U.S. Information Agency to design the United States pavilion at Expo 67 in Montreal. His “biosphere” was his largest geodesic dome: a 20-storey-high skeleton of steel polyhedrons sheathed in a transparent skin composed of acrylic panels. To regulate the indoor ambient temperature, Fuller designed an apparatus of mobile triangular panels that would move over the inner surface of the dome following the sun. Likely too advanced for its time, it was replaced with a system of valves that enabled the pavilion to "breathe."
Buckminster Fuller was a mostly self-taught futurist who worked in mathematics, engineering, environmental science, architecture, and art. Before the oil crisis of the ‘70s or the space race, Fuller tinkered with new ways of designing homes and vehicles that might help conserve resources. Fuller looked to nature for inspiration: the geodesic design is similar to organisms like the fractal-like, double-radiating pattern of dandelion seed heads.
Fuller’s term tensegrity - a portmanteau of "tensional integrity" - describes the inherent strength of his "omnitriangulated" geodesic domes; since the tension-bearing members map out the shortest paths between adjacent members these type of structures offer the maximum strength with the least materials.
A fire in 1976 destroyed the acrylic panels, but in the nineties the structure was opened again to the public as North America's only environment museum. Biosphere environment museum: https://www.parcjeandrapeau.com/en/bi...
A 1976 fire sparked by welding destroyed the acrylic cover in 20 minutes... since then the build was preserved and the structure was maintained as a museum centre..
Reference shown at the Montreal Expo for Stockholm Sweden "Insectcity" a sustainable food sources of the future - insect production and consumption ... really? Gross. Disgusting. Wrong.
More on this idea.. which reads as follows:
"In 2018 it is estimated that the city of Stockholm will have 940 700 inhabitants. In order to produce protein from insects corresponding to the inhabitants’ meat consumption about 500 000 m2 farmable surface is needed. By placing insect farms in nine roundabouts throughout Stockholm the goal of making Stockholm self-sufficient in protein can be obtained.
To illustrate what an urban insect production might look like, Belatchew Labs has developed the insect farm BuzzBuilding for cultivation of crickets, offering 10 350 m² of farmable surface. BuzzBuilding consists of a building that integrates the whole insect production flow, from the egg to the ready-to-eat insect. Additionally, BuzzBuilding is a safe haven for endangered wild bees, which, apart from ensuring endangered species of bees’ continued existence, also turns Stockholm into a blooming and fertile city.
The main structure is a steel exoskeleton, an outer skeleton, inspired by the structure of insects. On the ground floor there is a restaurant where insects are prepared and sold. The goal is to make the production public; in contrast to the hidden meat production it invites the public to observe and participate, and offers accessible knowledge about where our food comes from."
"Nazis" never went away after World War 2 and the war never ended for them - that's the God's honest truth. The interview with Greg Hallett took place when he lived in NZ speaking with Red Ice's Henrik Palmgren in Sweden in 2008.
I recommend people listen to his information and wake up.... asap!
AWARENESS IS THE FIRST STEP ...
Was President Trump right about Sweden? Does Sweden have "problems like they never thought possible?"
For the sociological-political book on which the documentary is based, buy it at amzn.to/2bkQB4i
This film uncovers a rarely exposed side of Sweden, an authoritarian streak behind the image of being a liberal utopia. Government, media and industry run a tight ship were those who disagree with their agendas are harassed, ostracized and fired from their jobs.
The most radical of these agendas is the project of replacing Sweden with a new, multicultural country. Sweden is balancing on a precipice and the same consensus mentality that made it function so well in the past, now prevents her from making the necessary adjustment. The word/brand "Sweden" is enjoying its last days of being associated with tall blonde girls and a kind, egalitarian and prosperous welfare state.
Get a glimpse of Sweden as it is, not as slick government sponsored propaganda wants you to think it is.
All proceeds go to support the efforts of a small collective of thoroughly independent investigative journalists and filmmakers.

New book coming... Masochist Nationalism Multicultural Self-hatred and the Infatuation with the Exotic (Routledge, 2020) Accepted.
In this episode, I interviewed Göran Adamson, a sociology professor at University West in Sweden. He’s been dubbed “the Swedish Jordan Peterson” for his controversial critiques of multiculturalism. He is the author of the 2015 book, “The Trojan Horse: A Leftist Critique of Multiculturalism in the West.”
A Canadian affiliate of the SPLC revealed to have connections to antifa radicalism.
Don’t be surprised that one level above the militant hooliganism of antifa is a whole network of groups and subgroups with official nonprofit status and funding.
ITS OKAY to celebrate Western Civilisation...
Henrik Palmgren of Red Ice TV Sweden/USA holds up the much acclaimed book "The Uniqueness of Western Civilisation" [Brill, 2011] from retired UNB professor Ricardo Duchesne... the question I have for all Canadians is this:
Will you celebrate the demographic replacement of your people or will you resist it? The time for denials and gaslighting is now over... https://www.eurocanadian.ca/2019/11/stats-canada-celebrates-great-replacement-whites.html
Youtube removed Henrik's channel last month.. Website: http://redice.tv
You will be able to access ALL of the interviews through the past half dozen years with Ricardo Duchesne at their members' website https://redicemembers.com/
and by subscribing to their bitchute.com channel.
Do yourself and your family a big favour and shut off the CBC propaganda.
A lot of young Canadians are internet savvy, paying attention and creating content.
We don't need the CBC .. defund the CBC .. boycott their fake news narrative.
