BUCKY'S WORLD FORGET GEODESIC DOMES. BUCKMINSTER FULLER WANTED TO SAVE SPACESHIP EARTH BY DESIGNING ASSEMBLY-LINE HOMES - THAT WOULD BE DELIVERED BY ZEPPELIN.
|
TODAY, WHEN PEOPLE hear the name R. Buckminster Fuller, most
probably think of geodesic domes: leaky hippie houses, Cold War
radar installations, Epcot Center, jungle gyms. But as Michael
John Gorman, a historian of science and a former associate curator
of Stanford University's Buckminster Fuller Collection, writes in his
illuminating new book, "Buckminster Fuller: Designing for Mobility"
(Skira), those few associations hardly do justice to Fuller, who was
born in Milton and died in 1983 at the age of 87. Bucky, as he
was known to his friends, family, and acolytes, was part ...
