The Genealogy & Local History Library is partnering with Alton Area Landmarks Association (AALA) this winter to bring back our three-part Saturday lecture series in January, February, and March. AALA is dedicated to educating, promoting, and saving the architectural heritage of the Alton area.
Seating is limited. Please register at 1-800-613-3163.
World-renowned inventor Buckminster Fuller spent ten of his most productive years as a professor at Southern Illinois University. Benjamin Lowder will share the fascinating history of the miniature earth dome that Buckminster Fuller designed for the SIUE campus. He will also take us on a virtual architectural tour across Southern Illinois and St. Louis, sharing the region’s rich architectural history. The triangle-faceted geometry of Fuller’s geodesic domes, scattered across this region like precious gems, has also inspired Benjamin to create a series of artwork exhibited from New York to Los Angeles.
Benjamin Lowder is the Director of the Fuller Dome, Center for Spirituality and Sustainability on the Southern Illinois University campus in Edwardsville, IL. He also serves on the board of directors for the historic Buckminster Fuller Dome Home in Carbondale, IL.
