Bucky' was one of the most revolutionary technological visionaries of this century. As an architect, engineer, entrepreneur, poet, he was a quintessentially American, selfmade man. But he was also an outsider: 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.
