21. THE FULLER MAP buckminster fuller's ideas about geometry, architecture, cartography, and cognition in an analytical framework. Includes references for further study. http://www.nous.org.uk/BFMAP.html

THE FULLER MAP This document is a study of the comprehensive designer Buckminster Fuller, an outstanding character of the 20th century, and a kind of practical visionary. Fuller's remarkable career as an inventor, architect, designer, cartographer, writer and theorist amounts to a design syllabus in itself, even if his own conclusions and solutions are not accepted and applied. Many people would argue that life might be vastly improved if his designs were better known and implemented. This presentation of his ideas is not intended as a slavish devotional exercise, nor a piece of cynical criticism. Part of the plan here is to investigate the logic of synergetics. At this stage the account is verbal, not visual, but what is important in geometry is the logic rather than the pictures. As originally conceived, THE FULLER MAP was intended to help designers and design students in the following ways: It presents a detailed case-study of a comprehensive designer, Buckminster Fuller. It shows how certain theoretical matters may be related to practical design, for instance geometrical ideas are applied to architecture and cartography. It provides check-lists of factors relevant to design.

Fuller's family were from New England and he grew up with a boyhood fascination for ship-building and fishing which were part of life on the coast of Maine. He [2]:- ... inherited that blend of romantic idealism and Yankee practicality which made him the spiritual heir to Benjamin Franklin and Emerson. He married Anne Hewlett, daughter of a well-known architect, in 1917, and he served in the US Navy from 1917 to 1919. Twice expelled from Harvard University, business disasters with the construction company in which he was a minority stockholder, and the death of his four year old daughter, brought him close to suicide. Around 1927 [1]:- He found himself stranded in Chicago, without income, alienated, dismayed, confused.

30. Geodesic Domes Raytraced picture of a dome and links to information about buckminster fuller. http://www.insite.com.br/rodrigo/bucky/geodome.html

Geodesic Domes homepage people buckminster fuller geodesic domes A Geodesic Dome is a type of structure shaped like a piece of a sphere or a ball. This structure is comprised of a complex network of triangles that form a roughly spherical surface. The more complex the network of triangles, the more closely the dome approximates the shape of a true sphere. By using triangles of various sizes, a sphere can be symmetrically divided by thirty-one great circles. A great circle is the largest circle that can be drawn around a sphere, like the lines of latitude [Ed. he means longitude] around the earth, or the equator. Each of these lines divide the sphere into two halves, hence the term geodesic, which is from the Latin meaning "earth dividing". [From Mitch Amiano] The dome is a structure with the highest ratio of enclosed area to external surface area, and in which all structural members are equal contributors to the whole. There are many sizes of triangles in a geodesic, depending on the frequency of subdivision of the underlying spherical polyhedron. The cross section of a geodesic approximates a great-circle line.

The geodesic dome is a lightweight and efficiently designed structure made up of interconnected tetrahedrons that give it a high strength-to-weight ratio. The geodesic dome reflects Fuller’s belief that technology should make efficient use of the earth’s limited resources and that technology should meet the needs and problems of modern life.

Dymaxion Projection Animation UPDATE! After lying untouched for years I haven't even looked at this in at least three there was such an interest surge in this animation that I revisited it for a new improved rendering. The miracle: Even seven years later, my C code is still readable, my POV files still render properly, and my animation still works. POV has greatly improved its interface and there are a wealth of new Earth images to use. I found the Virtual Terrain Project 's page to be extremely helpful. I finally decided to use James Hasting-Trew's map which is not, as he writes, ``accurate or true in the strict photographic sense,'' but is close enough for my rendering, which is also not true in any sense. Most importantly, though, James' map is really, really pretty. The result is much improved in almost every way. The new files are all in this directory . There you'll find a POV file for each individual frame, 000 to 077 inclusive; a PNG file for each frame; a ZIPfile of all the POV files a ZIPfile of all the resulting PNGs at 800x600 a 1.1 megabyte Flash animation a 4.3 megabyte 800x600 GIF animation for the brave of heart ... the new C code for generating the POV files ; and the Earth map used for my renderings , which is a reduced copy of James Hasting-Trew's 10k map , not to be confused with his lower-resolution versions. Don't ask me why I made my own.

CHARTING NEW ROUTES TO THE 21ST CENTURY "T he Dark Ages still reign over all humanity, and the depth and persistence of this domination are only now becoming clear. This Dark Ages prison has no steel bars, chains, or locks. Instead, it is locked by misorientation and built of misinformation. Caught up in a plethora of conditioned reflexes and driven by the human ego, both warden and prisoner attempt meagerly to compete with God. All are intractably skeptical ol what they do not understand. We are powerfully imprisoned in these Dark Ages simply by the terms in which we have been conditioned to think." R. Buckminster Fuller , from "Cosmography" (MacMillan, 1932) R. Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983) sometimes called "the planet's friendly genius," gained renown as an inventor and designer of the Dymaxion House, the Dymaxion Car, the Dymaxion Map, and the Geodesic dome - the only structure that actually gets stronger as it gets larger. As a philosopher and systems thinker, he coined the term "Spaceship Earth" and organized the World Game. He was the mathematician who discovered Synergetics, nature's geometry. Bucky was World Fellow in Residence at the University of Pennsylvania and was a recipient of the Medal of Freedom from President Ronald Reagan in 1981.

Who was R. Buckminster Fuller? by Dr. Graeme Edwards Early in his career, R. Buckminster Fuller, fondly known as "Bucky," was kicked out of Harvard University. Not once, but twice! Amazingly, by the end of his career - when he died in 1983 at the age of 88 - he had received 48 honorary degrees and doctorates. Although he had not "worked for a living" for 56 years, he was incredibly productive. He designed his life by living by a set of principles and self-discipline. Those principles can be summarized as " to recognize the value of each and every individual, and recognize the value of individuals who choose to work together." Bucky saw power in this because "together, we can be of greater service to our community." He observed that the greater number of people he chose to serve, the more effective he became. During his career, he wrote 22 books, many of which are still in print and available at libraries and bookstores. He was an adviser to a variety of governments, including the U.S., France, Brazil, China, India and Russia. More than that, Bucky was a friend to many: Mahatma Gandhi, John Denver (who wrote a song about Bucky called "What one man can do"), Albert Einstein and notable aviators Amelia Earhart and Sir Charles Kingsford Smith. Einstein felt that Bucky had a "true and intuitive understanding of his work." He marveled at Bucky's ability to turn this theory into practice. He once said, "Young man, you amaze me. I cannot conceive of anything I have ever done, having the slightest practical application." Bucky, while being a great thinker, was also a very practical man.
