Buckminster Fuller Summer in New York
Buckminster Fuller was one of the most fascinating and original thinkers of the last century. Inventor, architect, engineer, mathematician, poet, cosmologist and humanitarian, Fuller viewed our planet as "Spaceship Earth,' and as such he committed his entire productivity toward protecting and advancing all life. Driven by the belief that humanity's major problems were hunger and homelessness, he worked tirelessly toward solving those problems through inexpensive and efficient design. Fuller’s legacy includes new ways of conceiving of houses, cars, boats, games, television transmitters and geodesic domes, all of which he designed to be mass-produced using the simplest and most sustainable means possible. His influence on science, technology, architecture and design today is immense.
In celebration of this great master, several institutions in New York City are presenting exhibitions of Fuller’s work.
