I'm working on a University project about Buckminster Fuller. He's a visionary architect/engineer - so would that go in the science or the arts department?

I don't think those distinctions matter very much. The idea was that those of us who were scientists would subscribe to that part part of the University and so on, but I don't think that's actually happened. I'd love to be proved wrong, but I don't think anyone pays much attention to Uni projects until they're in PR anyway...

For pedantry's sake, I'd weigh in on the "science" side, but Rich is very sensible, so listen to him.

Don't mind if I quote you on the second half of that sentence, do you?

Science it is. I've never understood architecture as a mere art, anyway

Rich! Sensible!)

Have found a sub-ed to take them through when I'm done.

I've just incorprated both EMR and Mal's comments into the top of my PS. They make a very pleasing pyramid effect with Leo's comment above.
