Buckminster Fuller: Starting with the Universe
From his geodesic dome to books popularizing the terms spaceship earth and synergetics, the life mission of R. Buckminster Fuller was to create living environments that minimized consumption of the earths resources while maximizing interconnections with global systems of information and transportation.\nThis book chronicles Fullers profound, often prophetic contributions, including his environmentally sensitive building designs. The essays illuminate the underappreciated thematic interactions of many sculptors, painters, musicians, and architects with this self-described comprehensive anticipatory design scientist, including contemporary artists wrestling with Fullers legacy today.\nReproductions of original drawings and modelsincluding those for Fullers 4D house, Wichita House, the Montreal Expo dome, and the sole extant Dymaxion carplus a reprinted 1966 New Yorker profile on Fuller by Calvin Tomkins, complete the fascinating tribute. \n\nPaperback, Yale University Press, 272 pages. 2008.
