As an engineer, a poet ; as a designer, a philosopher ; as a researcher, an artist-R. Buckminster Fuller established new standards that can be seen as decisive for futur-capable design. How to make the world work-to this task, he dedicated his unflagging attention. Convinced that specialists usually create more problems than they solve, he developed his concepts for a vision of the whole. In addition, in his unique way Fuller inter-linked the fields of architecture, geometry, engineering, natural science and anthropology. Catch phrases of our time, like Spaceship Earth, synergetic, or think global, act local-can directly or indirectly be traced back to "Bucky." This book provides a highly multi-faceted insight into Fuller's world, also showing many of its up-to-now unknown sides.
