"Richard Buckminster Fuller is best known as the first pioneer of lightweight prefabricated housing and the inventor of the geodesic dome. A fervent believer in design's inherent benefit to mankind, in promoting the idea of conserving resources, and in his dream of creating a world design science to avert ecological catastrophe, he was way ahead of his time. As much engineer as architect, his enthusiasm and radical thought made him the guru of a generation of architects and designers." [jacket blurb, UK pbk, 1992]
"This book is a good introduction to the work and ideas of R.Buckminster Fuller." --Henry W.Targowski (in Mark/Space , 1995).
Highly recommended.
