The Stanford University Libraries, Department of Special Collections exhibit Fuller/Sadao: Partners in Design, currently on view, and originally scheduled to run through March 18, has been extended through April 1, 2002. This dynamic exhibition documents the creative partnership between two architectural visionaries: R. Buckminster Fuller and Shoji Sadao. With an emphasis on collaborations from the 1950s through the late 1980s, the exhibit will feature a variety of objects including three-dimensional models, maps, globes, prints, photographs, and posters illustrating projects ranging from the geodesic dome to the Dymaxion car. Fuller/Sadao: Partners in Design is on view at Stanford University's Cecil H. Green Library, Peterson Gallery, second floor of the Bing Wing. Please call 650-723-9108 for library hours.

The final stages of the expansion of the Miller Library at Hopkins Marine Station are almost done. Compact shelving was installed back in January of 2000 (picture 1). The compact shelving increased the library's capacity by 60%, but it also meant the library lost use of a great storage area. So in September of 2001 a local cabinet maker, Tim McDermott, built a beautiful set of 10 custom cabinets designed to house oversized pieces of equipment, bindery boxes, etc. (picture 2). This week Tim will install two new carrels and a table that were custom built to match the existing library furniture (picture 3). After we get some chairs, lighting, and wastebaskets, this project will be completed, and Hopkins will start fund raising for its next library project which will be landscaping.

Thanks again to Don Intersimone, Karen Nagy, Assunta Pisani, Anita deGero, and Julie Hardin-Stauter for their help with this project.
