a special about Bucky was on DemocracyNow.org this day
watch it!
New York’s Whitney Museum is opening an exhibition this week bringing together the work of architect and visionary, R. Buckminster Fuller. More than two decades after his death, Fuller continues to inspire efforts for a more sustainable planet in the twenty-first century. From his famous geodesic dome to his shunned electric car, Fuller employed design to tackle problems including homelessness and environmental degradation.
People dismiss geodesic with regards to aesthetics in Arch Theory circles...but Geodesics was just one of the symptons of his comprehensive global strategy.
I am always inspired not only by Bucky's work, but his personal life...especially that moment when he almost committed suicide, but miraculously turned his life around when he realized his life "belonged to the universe".

makes me want to be a soils architect for bio-remediation or learn more about it beyond composting of organic scraps
Bucky ist einer der wichtigsten Vordenker, nicht nur in der Architektur. Ein Visionär, dessen volle Bedeutung noch erst entdeckt werden will.
much like nano technology
Cheers Anti,
