Buckminster Fuller

"Starting with the Universe" a retrospective at the Whitney Museum of American Art.
R. Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983), one of the twenties century's first truly cross-discilinary thinkers, explored a wide range of fields, including mathematics, engineering, environmental science, philosophy, architecture, and visual art, in his attempt to discover what one person could do to best serve the needs of humanity. Image this: the first energy-efficient car - called Dymaxion Car - was invented in 1933. Fuller also suggested transforming metal grain bins as well as airplane machinery into aluminum houses. He calculated that the heating bills would be 1/3rd compared to regular built houses. This was an inspiring, educational  show of his life put together by Jennie Goldstein, senior curatorial assistant at the Whitney Museum in New York City.

Bucky had Journals, so do I…

I wrote about the recent revival of interest in Buckminster Fuller stemming in large part from a major show at the Whitney, and about my own small personal discovery about Fuller’s impact on the iconography of our day.

A second, and perhaps more important reflection came as I walked the halls of the Whitney’s fourth floor exhibition space as I spent some time looking at bound volumes of Fuller’s notes.
