Invite for an exhibition to commemorate the first anniversary passing of American inventor Richard Buckminster Fuller.

The exhibition showcased their photographs of Bucky's visits to Penang, Singapore and Bali. It also featured diagrams of his works, and artefacts of the Dymaxion, a body of work in which Bucky aimed to create maximum gain of advantage from minimal energy input.

The exhibition was held from 12 to 26 July. The guest of honour at the opening was Edward F. Conyngham, the director of the United States Information Service, American Embassy.
