Extractions: "Making the world's available resources serve one hundred percent of an exploding population can only be accomplished by a boldly accelerated design revolution." T here are few men who can justly claim to have revolutionized their discipline. R. Buckminster Fuller revolutionized many. "Bucky," as he was known to most, was a designer, architect, poet, educator, engineer, philosopher, environmentalist, and, above all, humanitarian. Driven by the belief that humanity's major problems were hunger and homelessness he dedicated his life to solving those problems through inexpensive and efficient design. Black Mountain College . There, with the support of an amazing group of professors and students, he began work on the project that was to make him famous and revolutionize the field of engineering. Using lightweight plastics in the simple form of a tetrahedron (a triangular pyramid) he created a small dome. As his work continued it became clear that he had made the first building that could sustain its own weight with no practical limits. The U.S. government recognized the importance of the discovery and employed him to make small domes for the army. Within a few years there were thousands of these domes around the world. Having finally received recognition for his endeavors, Buckminster Fuller spent the final fifteen years of his life traveling around the world lecturing on ways to better use the world's resources. A favorite of the radical youth of the late 60's and 70's, Fuller worked to expand social activism to an international scope. Among his most famous books were NO MORE SECONDHAND GOD(1963) OPERATING MANUAL FOR THE SPACESHIP EARTH (1969), and EARTH, INC. (1973) in which he writes "In reality, the Sun, the Earth, and the Moon are nothing else than a most fantastically well-designed and space-programmed team of vehicles. All of us are, always have been, and so long as we exist, always will benothing else butastronauts."

Extractions: Known as R Buckminster Fuller , he was an engineer, mathematician and architect. Twice expelled from Harvard University, business disasters and the death of his four year old daughter brought him close to suicide. However he decided to devote himself to proving that technology could save the World from itself, providing it is properly used. He examined a vectorial system of geometry, Energetic-Synergetic geometry, based on the tetrahedron which provides maximum strength with minimum structure. This led to his patent of a geodesic dome in 1947, a building the strength of which need only increase as the log of its size. Over 200 000 of such domes have been built. Fuller was research professor at Carbondale, Southern Illinois University, from 1959 to 1968. In 1968 he became a university professor and retired in 1975.

http://www.cjfearnley.com/fuller-faq-4.html

Extractions: Next Previous Contents 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). [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.''
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

Extractions: 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.

By using triangles of various sizes, a sphere can be symmetrically divided by thirty-one great circles.

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.

Dymaxion Projection Animation
The earth, as represented by buckminster fuller's icosahedral projection.
http://www.westnet.com/~crywalt/unfold.html

Extractions: 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.
