Description
Hailed as one of the greatest minds of our times, Richard Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983) is known as an American visionary. Designer, architect, engineer, inventor, and philosopher, he was undeniably one of the key innovators of the 20th century.This volume provides a complete overview of Fuller's design and architectural production, situating Fuller's projects in their historical context.
The book features never-before-published material from the Fuller archives that were recently donated to Stanford University. Michael John Gorman's essay offers an in-depth analysis of Fuller's work, focusing more attention on his innovative architectural projects than to other aspects of Fuller's 'design science', as well as an interesting perspective on post-war American society and architectural culture. Chapters include concepts of Fuller's philosophy, his manifesto for mass-produced housing, the role of mobile shelter in transforming behavior, geodesic domes, and Fuller's early experiments.
