SynopsisAs an architect, engineer, entrepreneur, and poet, Buckminster Fuller was the quintessential self-made man. He was considered by many to be ahead of his time and by the 1930s had already developed theories on environmental issues and anticipated the rapid globalization of our planet. This visual reader documents and examines Fuller's theories and designs and contains numerous illustrations and texts, many of which are here published for the first time., "Bucky" was one of the most revolutionary technological visionaries of this century. As an architect, engineer, entrepreneur, poet, he was a quintessentially American, self-made man. But he was also an out-sider: a technologist with a poet's imagination who already developed theories of environmental control in the thirties ("more with less") and anticipated the globalization of our planet ("think global - act local"). This visual reader documents and examines Fuller's theories, ideas, designs, and projects. It also takes an analytical look at his ideology of technology as the panacea. With numerous illustrations, many published here for the first time, as well as texts by Fuller and the editors. The publication presents Buckminster Fuller's creations as a dazzling expression of this unconditionally optimistic technocrat whose vision of driverless Spaceship Earth led him to examine the principles of maximizing effects in the most diverse sectors of design and construction.
