A further investigation of zomescape may be inspired by the Kahn/Tyng City Tower project and the Mitchell/Guirgola 30th Street Site Master Plan for the Philadelphia 1976 Bicentennial Corporation.

The earliest date for the City Tower project is 1952, and is thus contemporaneous with the Atomium of 1958.

from online:
In 1953, Fuller and his geodesic dome were elevated to international prominence when the first conspicuous commercial geodesic dome was produced. That structure was erected in answer to a Ford Motor Company problem believed to be insoluble. [It seems Fuller's early experimentation of geodesics began 1949.]

If zometools can generate riffs off the City Tower project that would be great.
