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.''

Burlington, VT 05407 "Whenever I draw a circle, I immediately want to step out of it." So said R. Buckminster Fuller, who, for the better part of the 20th century, went where no man had gone before as the maverick captain of the planet he called "Spaceship Earth." An architect, designer, engineer, poet, philosopher, author and global iconoclast, Fuller was a true visionary, a Renaissance man best remembered as creator of the geodesic dome. As part of its 10th anniversary celebration, AMERICAN MASTERS profiles "Bucky" Fuller, the man who has been called a 20th century Da Vinci, a modern Ben Franklin, and a jet-age Emerson. What did his contemporaries think of him? See In Buckminster Fuller's world, cars had three wheels, houses were to be delivered by blimps, and cities were to be built inside floating spheres. To many, Fuller was a genius; to others, a crackpot. To most, he was both. This insightful documentary lets viewers decide for themselves about the man considered to be one of the 20th century's most distinguished, innovative and controversial thinkers. "Fuller's journey on 'Spaceship Earth' encompassed nearly a century of American life," said AMERICAN MASTERS Executive Producer Susan Lacy . "He's an ideal and fascinating subject for the series because he played such a major role in so many important historical and cultural movements, from the Machine Age to the counter-culture of the 1960s."

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: J. Rousset 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

Buckminster Fuller Inventor / Philosopher 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. Fuller coined the phrase "Spaceship Earth."

[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.

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.

http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Fuller.html

Extractions: Version for printing Known as R Buckminster Fuller (or Buckie Fuller), he was famed as an engineer, mathematician and architect. Fuller's family were from New England and he grew up with a boyhood fascination for ship-building and fishing which were part of life on the coast of Maine. He [2]:- ... inherited that blend of romantic idealism and Yankee practicality which made him the spiritual heir to Benjamin Franklin and Emerson. He married Anne Hewlett, daughter of a well-known architect, in 1917, and he served in the US Navy from 1917 to 1919. Twice expelled from Harvard University, business disasters with the construction company in which he was a minority stockholder, and the death of his four year old daughter, brought him close to suicide. Around 1927 [1]:- He found himself stranded in Chicago, without income, alienated, dismayed, confused.

I have been studying Fuller's work for several years and I am now in the process of making my notes available through these web pages. I hope that by working together we can go through Fuller's work and pull together a consistent presentation of his ideas. Being a physics and mathematics oriented person, I have concentrated on Fuller's science and mathematics related work. Even if your not science oriented I hope you'll find these pages interesting.
