Description
Buckminster Fuller (1895 1983) was one of the most revolutionary technological visionaries of the 20th century. As an architect, engineer, entrepreneur, and poet, he was a quintessentially American self-made man. But he was also an outsider: a technologist with a poet s imagination who already developed theories of environmental control in the thirties ( more with less ) and who anticipated the globalization of our planet ( think global act local ). In light of the reawakening interest in his works and thoughts, and of their growing importance for our technological world, it is time for a re-edition of this comprehensive and legendary publication from 1999. The visual reader Your Private Sky examines and documents Fuller s theories, ideas, and projects, and critically deals with his ideology of rescue through technology.
