James T. Baldwin - Wikipedia
an American industrial designer and writer.[1] Baldwin was a student of Buckminster Fuller; Baldwin's work was inspired by Fuller's principles and, in the case of some of Baldwin's published writings, he popularized and interpreted Fuller's ideas and achievements. In his own right, Baldwin was a figure in American designers' efforts to incorporate solar, wind, and other renewable energy sources. In his career, being a fabricator was as important as being a designer.[2] Baldwin is noted as the inventor of the "Pillow Dome",[3] a design that combines Buckminster Fuller's geodesic dome with panels of inflated ETFE plastic panels.
