A Vision Shared: Shoji Sadao and Allegra Fuller Snyder on Isamu Noguchi and R. Buckminster Fuller
Isamu Noguchi and R. Buckminster "Bucky" Fuller were two pivotal figures in 20th century art and design. Nisei, Shoji Sadao, director emeritus of the Isamu Noguchi Garden Museum, trustee of the Isamu Noguchi Foundation, and principal of architecture firm Fuller and Sadao, was introduced to Noguchi by Bucky Fuller when he was an architecture student at Cornell University. Founder, and first President, now Chairwoman of the Board of Director of the Buckminster Fuller Institute, Allegra Fuller Snyder, is Bucky's only child. Professor Emerita of Dance and Dance Ethnology at UCLA, she has a unique window on their relationship. Join Sadao and Fuller Snyder as they discuss the legacy of a friendship that continues to influence the nature of art, architecture, and design in this country and beyond.
