In light of the reawakening interest in R. Buckminster Fuller\u2019s works and thoughts, and of their growing importance for our technological world, it is time for a reedition of this comprehensive and legendary publication from 1999. The visual reader Your Private Sky examines and documents Fuller\u2019s theories, ideas and projects, and critically deals with his ideology of \u201crescue through technology.\u201d This book provides a highly multifaceted insight into Fuller\u2019s world, also showing many of its less known sides.<\/p>\n
Buckminster Fuller (1895\u20131983) was one of the most revolutionary technological visionaries of the 20th century. He established new standards that can be seen as decisive for future-capable design. \u201cHow to make the world work\u201d \u2013 to this task he dedicated his unflagging attention. Convinced that specialists usually create more problems than they solve, he developed his concept for a vision of the whole.<\/p>\n
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\u2019s imagination who already developed theories of environmental control in the thirties and who anticipated the globalization of our planet. Catchphrases of our time, like \u201cSpaceship Earth\u201d, \u201csynergetic\u201d, or \u201cthink global, act local\u201d \u2013 can directly or indirectly be traced back to Bucky.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
