The image is a technical blueprint for geodesic structures, known as “monothex,” developed by Buckminster Fuller. This is indicated by the labeling at the bottom of the blueprint. The blueprint features various diagrams of spherical structures and their components, including detailed illustrations of how the geometric shapes fit together within the larger spherical framework.

In the center of the blueprint are two large spherical diagrams. The one on the left shows a geodesic dome structure with individual labeled segments (A, B, C) and a network of triangles and other polygons that form the structure's surface. The diagram on the right presents a similar spherical structure but includes additional elements like circular openings.

Around these central diagrams, several smaller figures demonstrate different aspects of the construction process. These include:

  • Diagrams of individual panels or modules (like hexagons and pentagons) and how they contribute to the overall structure.
  • Side views and cross-sectional views of the connecting pieces and how the panels interlock.
  • Small 3D renderings of portions of the geodesic structure, explaining how parts come together.

The consistency of the blue background with white lines signifies a classic engineering blueprint style. The lower part of the blueprint includes details such as the patent number (3,197,427), filing date (December 19, 1961), the date granted (August 3, 1965), and the inventor's name, R. Buckminster Fuller, along with his signature.
