Inventor, architect, engineer and utopian visionary, R. Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983) was one of the century's most original thinkers. In 1927 Fuller designed the factory-assembled Dymaxion house, followed in 1928 by the three-wheeled Dymaxion car, for which Isamu Noguchi would sculpt a model. Fuller is most well-known for his later invention of the geodesic dome, and for his holistic proposals to solve the world's economic, social and ecological problems. Fuller's emphasis on the humanistic use of science and technology was a strong influence on the work of Isamu Noguchi, whom he met in 1929. That year Noguchi sculpted a chrome-plated head of Fuller, and they developed a close friendship that lasted until Fuller's death in 1983. Buckminster Fuller and Isamu Noguchi also shared a collaboration with architect Shoji Sadao, Executive Director of The Isamu Noguchi Foundation, Inc. , who started working with Fuller in the mid-Fifties (founding Fuller and Sadao, Inc. in 1960) and whose collaboration with Noguchi on the sculptor's landscape projects began in the early 1960s.

R. BUCKMINSTER FULLER Inventor / Visionary Fuller was a 20th century inventor, mathematician and futurist. Philosophically he was concerned with meeting the needs of a growing global civilization while reducing the use of natural resources; his inventions were meant to achieve those goals by simplifying and improving human housing and the objects of daily life. Never quite a mainstream figure, Fuller was viewed by some as an impractical dreamer but embraced by others as a visionary genius. His most famous invention, the geodesic dome, uses a series of interlocking triangles to create a lightweight, sturdy dome which needs no internal supports.

Next Previous Contents 4. Geodesic Domes Fuller invented the Geodesic Dome in the late 1940s to demonstrate some ideas about housing and ``energetic-synergetic geometry'' which he had developed during WWII. This invention built on his two decade old quest to improve the housing of humanity. It represents a brilliant demonstration of his synergetics principles; and in the right circumstances it could solve some of the pressing housing problems of today (a housing crisis which Fuller predicted back in 1927). 4.1 What is a geodesic dome? [From Robert T. Bowers' paper on Domes last posted to GEODESIC in 1989.] 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 [sic] 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.''

Next Previous Contents 6. Miscellany 6.1 What are ``fullerenes'' and ``buckyballs?'' SCIENCE magazine voted buckminsterfullerene ``Molecule of the Year'' in 1991. [From Kenneth J. Fair.] The exciting part of the discovery of C60 molecules is that they are only the third naturally occurring form of carbon to be found (graphite and diamond of course being the first two). C60 was first isolated from graphite (I think) in 1985. As Paul Houle writes, C60 is formed in the shape of a geodesic sphere (like the panels of a soccer ball), hence the name ``buckminsterfullerene'' or ``buckyballs'' for short. Each carbon has three sp2 hybrid orbitals and the fourth electron of each carbon resides in a delocalized pi orbital that ranges over the entire ball (like benzene). The physical appearance of C60 is very much similar to graphite, as are some of its physical properties. C60, unlike graphite, can be dissolved in benzene to form a translucent amber solution. Other developments of buckyballs: 1) Radicalization - Besides just the pure C60 form, researchers at Rice have added hydrogen molecules to the carbon junctures to form molecules such as C60H36. Also, work is progressing on making C60 radical groupings (similar to benzene -> phenol). 2) Property measurement - Although many of the properties of C60 are known, most of the properties of its compounds are still hazy.

Table of contents showTocToggle("show","hide") 1 Achievements 2 Biography 3 Concepts and buildings 4 Literature ... edit Achievements Fuller became famous for his huge geodesic domes , which can be seen as part of military radar stations, city halls, and exhibition attractions. Their construction is based on extending basic principles to build simple tensegrity structures ( tetrahedron octahedron , and the closest packing of spheres ). Built in this way they are extremely lightweight and stable. After getting a first patent for his domes in , Fuller went on to explore nature's constructing principles to find solutions for designs in many areas of human life. He designed and built a safer, aerodynamic Dymaxion car , a more accurate Dymaxion Map , energy-efficient and low-cost Dymaxion houses (the term " Dymaxion " is contracted from DYnamic MAXimum tensION), radically strong and light

INTRODUCTION GUINEA PIG B I AM NOW CLOSE TO 88 and I am confident that the only thing important about me is that I am an average healthy human. I am also a living case history of a thoroughly documented, half-century, search-and-research project designed to discover what, if anything, an unknown, moneyless individual, with a dependent wife and newborn child, might be able to do effectively on behalf of all humanity that could not be accomplished by great nations, great religions or private enterprise, no matter how rich or powerfully armed. I started out fifty-six years ago, at the age of 32, to make that experiment. By good fortune I had acquired a comprehensive experience in commanding and handling ships, first as a sailor in Penobscot Bay, Maine, and later as a regular U.S. naval officer. The navy is inherently concerned with not only all the world's oceans, but also the world's dry land emanating exportable resources and import necessities and the resulting high seas commerce. The navy is concerned with all vital statistics. I saw that there was nothing to stop me from thinking about our total planet Earth and thinking realistically about how to operate it on an enduringly sustainable basis as the magnificent human-passengered spaceship that it is. Planet Earth is a superbly conceived and realized 6,586,242,500,000,000,000,000-ton (over 6.5 sextillion tons) spaceship, cruise-speeding frictionlessly and soundlessly on an incredibly accurate celestial course. Spaceship Earth's spherical passenger deck is largely occupied by a 140-million-square-mile "swimming pool, " whose three principal widenings are called oceans.
